PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

F I R E S A F E T Y I S S U E S I N H I G H R I S E A PA RT M E N T S Many fire safety issues are often overlooked in high rise apartment buildings. The issues noted in this report are just a few simple examples of items which compromise the integrity of a fire separation and the fire resistance rating of closers.

EXAMPLE ONE

Problem: 1960’s style of apartments often contained mail slots in the suite entrance doors.

These openings allow for smoke and fire penetration through the solid core wood door.

Solution: A simple solution is to fill the mail slot cavity with an

approved fire stopping material or cement grout leaving the brass plates in place for cosmetics.

EXAMPLE TWO Problem: 1960’s style of apartments often contained milk boxes in the fire separation wall between the public corridor and the apartment suite.

The inside of the box may be either metal or wood.

Solution: There are several ways to solve this problem the most obvious simply removing the milk box and providing fire rated drywall over the opening.

Another solution would be to leave the milk box metal cover for aesthetics reasons and provide a

small one hour fire rated wall assembly inside the box opening with metal studs and fire rated drywall taking care to seal all edges with an approved fire rated caulking.

EXAMPLE THREE Problem: The refuse chute door is located in a public corridor creating fire safety and life safety issues.

Solution: Provide a fire rated refuse room enclosing the chute on each apartment floor. www.BrookBC.com 905-385-4496 1-888-343-3023

Many SMEs failing financial literacy test Free online training available for entrepreneurs

T

he Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) recently launched a free e-learning class in basic financial management for Canadian entrepreneurs to address a “deep financial literacy gap that exists among Canadian entrepreneurs” according to a survey by Intuit Canada.

The 2014 Intuit Canada report surveyed more than 600 SMEs, with 39 per cent of small business owners receiving a failing grade by answering zero to four of the 10 questions correctly. Seven per cent answered nine or 10 questions correctly out of 10.

The online course, named Financial Fundamentals, uses gamification and simulations to bring small and mediumsized business owners through a number of concepts such as cash flow management, financial statements, understanding profitability, performance monitoring and raising external capital.

18

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

A similar study conducted in 2017 by BDC and the Telfer School of Business showed that: • The percentage of business owners who performed really well on the financial literacy quiz was significantly higher in B.C. and Ontario (40 per cent) than in Quebec (27 per cent).

• The difference between the percentage of men who did really well on the quiz (40 per cent) and the percentage of women who did so (24 per cent) is statistically significant.

“A solid grasp of basic financial management helps business owners make more informed decisions about their business.

And yet, sadly, many entrepreneurs do not feel comfortable when it comes to discussing financial concepts,” says Bill Ciprick, senior vice-president, BDC advisory services. “This online training is a must for business owners who are curious to learn more about financial management. It offers the right mix of flexibility and development to help them take their business to the next level by improving their skills and knowledge.”

A second phase of the course, to be released in the spring of 2019, will take an in-depth look at financial management and teach business owners how to prepare themselves before meeting with their banker. All modules are fully responsive online and for mobile, take approximately 20 minutes to complete and are aimed at entrepreneurs who are looking to improve their skills and knowledge about finance.

Re-igniting youR financial goals

M

oney is a key stressor for most Canadians. They know it’s a problem but are reluctant or unable to break their bad financial habits. “The fact is, financial ignorance is not bliss,” says Gregory Brown, former associate manager with the Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network in Surrey, British Columbia. wHy do you tHink people avoid financial planning?

Many Canadians believe the Canada Pension Plan and Medicare will be able to support them during retirement.

But these safety nets will become depleted as the number of retirees continues to increase over the next 20 years.

Dalibor Radulovic Sales Representative dalibor1@rogers.com

We’re told to save for retirement, but most people are unable to picture what retirement looks like. If you can’t picture it, how can you prepare for it? So, you just don’t and avoid it altogether.

How do you overcome tHe fear?

First of all, take ownership for your past financial behaviours and your future financial goals. Be honest with yourself and know that anything is possible with a plan.

Next, write down your short- and long-term personal and financial priorities. Your financial goals will support your personal goals, so the two should be aligned. once we Have our plan, wHat’s next?

It’s important to make time for regular financial discussions with your partner and some key family members. It’s also a good idea to work with a financial advisor who can facilitate the conversation and provide professional and unbiased objectivity. It’s never too late to make financial adjustments even if they appear out of control. It just means that you have to get organized, ask for help and start making informed choices. nc

Avoid emotional investing Beer explains that trying to time the market or an individual stock almost never works. But time in the market often does by delivering better overall returns – especially when you couple your long-term, stay-thecourse strategy with other key strategies such as effective asset allocation and dollar-cost averaging.

He notes that volatility is the nature of stock markets, but with a carefully selected and properly diversified ‘mix’ of assets, you can effectively reduce risk and enhance your chances of achieving your long-term goals.

E

motional investing doesn’t pay – it costs you instead, says Andy Beer, manager, product utilization at Investors Group.

“Market study after market study has clearly proved that when investors are driven by emotions – jumping into and out of stocks looking for the next winner, pouring money into mutual funds following a period of strong market growth, and then moving to the next ‘hot’ asset class during market troughs – they often lose, and sometimes lose big.”

Beer also suggests that dollar-cost averaging (the strategy of buying a stock or fund on a regular basis regardless of the stock or fund price) is an investment strategy that saves you from trying to time the market. This approach is designed to lower the average cost of your stock or mutual fund units, and ensures you are always participating in the market, so you will never miss out on periods of excellent returns.

The markeT ouTlook The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) negotiated on Sept.

30, 2018 conveys a positive market outlook as it lifted the veil of uncertainty off businesses and investors. In 2018, the majority of forecasts painted various scenarios and were unable to provide definitive answers. Now that the dust is beginning to settle, what can Canadian real estate investors expect for the foreseeable future?

Firstly, there is the possibility of three more interest rate hikes in 2019, following the most recent hike of 25 basis points on Oct. 24 to 1.75 per cent. Although there were high inflation rates this past summer, peaking at three per cent in July, the Bank of Canada opted not to increase interest rates as NAFTA negotiations were not making progress. As a result of the stability brought back to the economy, the BoC will now feel comfortable with the prospect of multiple interest rate hikes.

Moving in line with rising interest rate expectations, bond yields have been on a consistent increase this past quarter, reaching 2.32 per cent for the five-year bond yield and 2.42 per cent for the 10-year bond yield by the end of the quarter. Since the beginning of the year, these represent respective increases of more than 40 and 30 basis points, implying a higher cost of borrowing. For the foreseeable future, real estate investors should only be expecting that interest rates keep going up.

FoCusing on The gTa Three quarters into 2018, the GTA’s total property sale volume reached $15.5B, a 4.85 per cent decrease in capital flows from the same period last year.

Residential land took a surprising turn when sales activity dipped to $579M, lowering residential investment for Q1 - Q3 2018 by 27 per cent when compared to the same period last year. This, however, was balanced by significant increases in investment for both the apartment and ICI land sectors, which represented respective increases of 95 per cent and 19 per cent year-over-year. With the exception of the hotel sector, the remaining sectors of retail, office and industrial showed little to no changes in its year-over-year dollar volumes. gTa indusTrial

Investment in the GTA’s industrial market reached $2.4B within the first three quarters of 2018 – a 6.2 per cent decline in capital flows from the same period in 2017.

The year-over-year decrease in investment remains a likely product of the market’s limited supply and accelerated price growth, with investment likely to still exceed the previous year’s annual benchmark. Due to the heightened demand for industrial space, the GTA’s availability rate keeps falling to historic lows, dropping 30 basis points from the previous quarter to 1.4 per cent in Q3 2018.

Tips to help your business navigate

online marketing

O

nline marketing and advertising and knowing what works best can be overwhelming for small businesses.

Find the right mix oF tools

There is no silver bullet when it comes to advertising, specialists say, but there is a simple question that provides a good starting point to determine the right mix of tools: Are you in the ‘need-it-now’ business or in the ‘researchedpurchase’ business?

The impact of a local search is far greater in the ‘needit-now’ categories such as plumbing, than it is in the ‘researched-purchase’ categories such as consumer electronics or luxury travel. get rank in google, Yahoo and others When people use search engines, they generally don’t look

past the top 10 results. Search engine optimization (SEO), or enhancing a business’ online presence so that it’s listed as a top search result, can dramatically increase online visibility.

Although having a website is advantageous for small businesses, it’s not absolutely necessary for SEO. Claiming and updating your free business listing on a local Canadian search site like canpages.ca is quick and easy and they allow businesses to enhance their profiles with video, website, photos and more, all of which contribute to higher rankings. generate leads Search engine marketing or SEM is similar to SEO in that it leverages keywords but incorporates a paid element. Local search providers offer small business owners personalized support to navigate SEO and SEM and offer lead-generation solutions designed for local marketing. They even take care of identifying and purchasing ad words, the key words consumers use to search for a business product or service that lead to click-through traffic on business’ websites. nC

political risk insurance Not all importing countries enjoy the political, social and economic stability to which we are accustomed in Canada.

Special insurance policies are often necessary, particularly to protect overseas investments.

EDC will help collect your funds in cases of breach of contract, nonpayment, expropriation or political instability.

capacity will need to grow, meaning you may be required to plan for long-term financing. BDC financing products for present and future Canadian exporters combine long-term financing and flexible repayment options. BDC can finance the equipment purchases, retooling and increased inventory that exporters often need. It can also offer commercial real estate financing should you outgrow your current facilities. cash in advance When a domestic buyer has a good credit rating, sales are often made on an open account. However, this approach fully exposes the seller to credit risk until payment has been made. When exporting, there are several ways to protect your sale. One option is to consider asking for cash in advance. This relieves you of collection problems and allows immediate use of the money. Wire transfers are commonly used. Keep in mind that payment by cheque may result in collection delays of up to six weeks. If you accept credit card payments, beware of fraud. letters of credit A letter of credit is essentially a financial contract between a bank, its customer and the beneficiary. It outlines the conditions under which payment will be made. The buyer generally specifies the conditions, which usually include provisions of insurance forms, bills of lading, customs forms, various certificates and the like. Think of these documents as ways of safeguarding the integrity of the purchased product. collections

You should have a plan of action in place before such problems arise.

EDC also offers loans or credit lines to foreign buyers to encourage them to purchase goods or services from Canadian companies. In this way, a Canadian business can make what amounts to a cash sale, and EDC will collect the payment. EDC’s Accounts Receivable Insurance (ARI) protects your business against foreign buyers who can’t or won’t pay up. It covers up to 90 per cent of the value of the sale. security for foreign distributors or clients The people you will be doing business with abroad do not know you, so they may ask you for guarantees. That is particularly true in the public, agriculture and food sectors. The Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) offers foreign buyers security by providing a Canadian government-backed guarantee of contract performance. The agency offers a range of pre-contract, advisory and postcontract services.

Collections are usually the responsibility of the exporter’s bank. There are two types of collections: Documentary and draft/clean. In a documentary collection, your bank deals with a foreign bank and sends payment instructions.

A documentary credit means you are entitled to receive payment once the shipping and commercial documents have been presented to the foreign bank. A draft/clean collection is similar to a cheque. The buyer sends a draft while waiting for the shipment to arrive, and the exporter transfers the product when the draft clears. A draft carries a risk similar to that of a cheque, as it may be not honoured. open accounts This is the riskiest payment option, as the risk falls entirely on the exporter. Buyers and sellers will typically negotiate a payment deadline of 30 to 90 days or even longer, depending on the relationship and transaction. If you are considering this form of payment, you need to have a clear understanding of all political, economic and commercial risks involved. dealing With payment problems

If negotiations with your customer fail, you should obtain the assistance and advice of your bank, legal counsel and other qualified experts. Since arbitration is often faster and less costly than legal action, this step is preferable, provided both parties agree to take their dispute to an arbitration agency.

THE BUSINESS OF business-to-business moving

By Chuck Resnick

carts, elevator door jamb protectors, carpet protection and the like. They should also have special anti-static bubble wrap for computer equipment. Another element the co-ordinator handles is connecting with the appropriate commercial/ office management company in order to find out about, and adhere to, rules and guidelines for elevator usage, truck parking, etc.

If the move calls for equipment or specialized expertise, the co-ordinator should arrange for it. An example would be tearing down cubicles, disconnecting computers and electronics at the destination site and reassembling them.

Space-planners are needed to accomplish this part of the move, especially when it comes to the cubicle set-up.

W

hen it comes to commercial and office moves, we understand that business-to-business clients value three major things: That the job is completed on time as promised, on budget and with no disruption to their ‘business as usual.’ This may involve professional offices, retail stores, educational facilities or any other type of organization. The focus on budget and timing is understandable, and a good mover will work toward a seamless transition from point A to point B. The first thing to establish is a chain of communication.

Usually, this means interacting with a move co-ordinator for the client. Oftentimes that’s a role we will play. On the mover’s side, someone should be set up as a consultant dedicated to the move. This professional works with the client co-ordinator to shepherd the logistics.

Each business-to-business move is different, and it’s up to the mover to determine what equipment is necessary. For example, the mover may need to use library carts, computer 40

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

Interestingly, office moves are usually done with totes rather than boxes. There are a number of things that will need to be provided such as labels and security ties for the totes. Each person’s office items are transferred to the appropriate office at the destination. Good labelling helps to achieve successful residential moves, and with a business-to-business move, it takes on even greater importance. Another big help is to have floorplans of the offices at both ends of the move, which of course aids in labelling what goes where, as well as the order in which items are packed and taken off the truck.

All this is organized and orchestrated by the co-ordinators, and often a mover will do these moves after-hours and on weekends to minimize disruption during usual work hours. If the move has to be completed during work hours, it is best to limit employee participation as much as possible. The goal is to make things as easy as possible on employees and customers.

In the end, the key to a successful business-to-business move is developing a plan with clear and well-defined goals and having someone on each end who is responsible and accountable for the event. Those booking a commercial or office move will want to check into the moving company’s track record and look at any testimonials reflecting the work.

In any kind of move, everyone should be happy when the last box is put into place. The best way to ensure this level of satisfaction is to plan ahead, be organized and keep the lines of communication open.

Tips on how to choose a group insurance plan for

your small business

A

well-designed group benefits plan can offer significant advantages for your employees and your business. It can help you attract and retain top talent, promote a healthy work environment and differentiate your business from your competitors.

“A group insurance plan can be a flexible and affordable way to enhance your total compensation package,” explains John Carinci, VP and head, operations and client experience, RBC Insurance. “Many Canadian employees identify their benefits plan as a key reason for remaining with their current employer. In fact, given the choice, 59 per cent of employees would prefer group benefits over a 10 per cent salary increase.” Before choosing a group insurance plan, consider the following three tips:

• Define your objectives – To identify whether you need a basic plan or a comprehensive plan, first identify your primary purpose for implementing a benefits package.

The plan you choose may be different depending on whether your goal is to attract new talent, retain existing employees, or simply offer basic coverage.

• Provide coverage your employees will use – Talk to your employees about their needs prior to selecting your group plan. By doing the research up front, you’ll avoid paying for features your employees won’t use, while also aligning the plan to your stated objectives.

• Choose a plan that is a good fit for you and your employees – A good benefits package provides a benchmark level of coverage that meets the needs of your employees, at a cost that you are comfortable with. Prepare a list of questions for your advisor to ensure you are delivering the best solution possible.

Investor confIdence to drive 2019 commercial real estate sector

M

orguard Corp. released its 2019 Canadian Economic Outlook and Market Fundamentals Report in November 2018. Activity levels and consumer demand for quality Canadian real estate assets increased in 2018, with strong indications for a positive outlook for 2019.

“Canadian commercial real estate has proven to be an attractive asset class for various investment groups recently, a trend that will continue into 2019,” says Keith Reading, director of research, Morguard.

The multi-suite residential asset class posted a record-high flow of capital in 2018, a trend that is expected to carry over into 2019. The national vacancy rate is expected to hold at

or near the cycle low, resulting in modest upward pressure on monthly rent averages. Demographic shifts, housing conditions and migration patterns will continue to boost rental demand, while low levels of new construction activity will provide little relief from the shortage of vacant units.

Healthy fundamentals will make the multi-suite residential asset class very attractive for investors in 2019.

For the office asset class, the mature phase of the cycle was extended, resulting in a record high pace of investment during much of 2018. Industrial property investment trends were also generally bullish, as the asset class placed first in terms of market performance. Morguard’s 2019 outlook is positive, with demand outstripping supply in most of Canada’s urban centres.

Retail investment property sales also hit a record high in 2018, despite heightened risk in the broader industry and fairly mixed leasing performance. While retail sales growth continues to moderate, properties with development or repositioning potential are expected to generate strong interest among the investment community looking ahead to 2019.
