I think I saw this first in high school. It was an elective called 'entrepreneurship' taught by a math teacher who ran a side hustle doing tacky happy birthday signs on people's front lawns. Like 'Lordy, Lordy, look who's 40' with 40 flamingoes standing all around.

Thanks for the kind feedback Don. Getting more views and likes simply comes down to viewers choosing to share and like the videos. The more likes a video gets, the more KZbin will recommend it to others making searches. (according to my understanding) Views, subscribes and likes are up since I actually started asking people to do this. I believe that many users don't understand how important liking and sharing is. Also, sharing videos to twitter and facebook is really important as it brings people in from other social networks. Thanks for the feedback and please send in any questions you have about buying and selling businesses and local private investing. cheers dave

Great job! Quick question….A share purchase agreement seems easier to manage than an asset agreement. Could you do a share purchase agreement, however put in the contract that the seller is responsible for all liabilities? I assumed in any contract you could put in whatever each party agrees to? Thank you!!
@DavidCBarnett
@DavidCBarnett 2 жыл бұрын
Share deals can be easier under certain circumstances and, yes, you can put in whatever you want. But there is a difference between someone accepting responsibility and enforcing this. Lots of risks, especially in small businesses. There is a whole module on share purchases in my Business Buyer Advantage course. Learn more at www.BusinessBuyerAdvantage.com Cheers.

So I have a questions for you - you mention at 5:00 that the in an asset sale “the customers may not know that someone else is mowing their lawn”. If, as you mention later in the video that when doing a share sale that you don’t have to renegotiate contracts with customers/partners, how does this affect an asset sale with informal customer relationships? If I make an asset purchase and include buying the old business name, am I required to tell every customer with an ongoing relationship that they are now doing business with a new corp? Thanks!
@DavidCBarnett
@DavidCBarnett 2 жыл бұрын
Depends on the type of business. If someone bought the local McDonalds franchise, do they tell each customer at the counter that they're doing business with a new corporation? It might be different if you issue invoices, you might want to notify people to make a cheque out to a different name or something. Just ask yourself, do the customers need to be informed or would they even care? Other people to ask would be your lawyer and your insurance agent. In some industries there could be important reasons to be sure you do. Cheers.

Hello David. I Love this very informative video. I have a thought/question. lets says, I register a company and issue/buy shares to myself owing 100% of the company. If I "WILL" these shares to my child they child will when I die, own the shares and ultimately the company and all the assets/liabilities of the company. That correct right? I "WILL NOT" CONSIDER YOUR ANSWER TO BE LEGAL/ACCOUNTING ADVISE. thanks very much for your help. Cheers!
@DavidCBarnett
@DavidCBarnett 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, your child will own the shares but the tax authorities that skulk and slither around your house will have an opinion as to what they're worth. So, generally speaking, there will be some sort of tax liability associated with inheriting the shares. This depends on where in the world you are. The entire 'tax planning' industry is built around helping people identify and mitigate this burden. So if this is your plan, then you need some local advice. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe!

The point about taxes at 8:45 might not be true (even for lower MM/retail biz broker scenarios): first, taxes are paid after debt in most countries. if you're saying you benefit from corporates taxes (eg, C corp in US) at lower rates than personal taxes, you have another layer of tax for distributions to get the money to accumulate your wealth anyway.

LLCs in the USA are pass-through entities so they're a little bit different, revenues are taxed in the hands of the owner. Debt repayment is not an expense, only the interest is.

Since Australian businesses can buy 30k (currently 150k) assets with 100% instant depreciation, my question is: Is it legal to buy a 30k business asset (car, machine, etc.), and then sell it 1 year later to a private individual for well below the asset's value (i.e. only $1)? The advantage is that the business can claim the 30k asset as an instant tax deduction (so the business ends up paying less tax or even no tax at all), and the next year, the private individual can acquire something of a high value for almost free. Another potential benefit is that the business now has no assets, so in the odd chance it is sued, the asset is no longer at risk because it is privately owned. When I say "business", I mean "Pty Ltd company", definitely not sole trader/partnership of course. It seems smart and legal, but am I missing something? Also another question: Instead of selling 1 year later, what about 1 day later? Depreciation is instant and 100%, right? So can it be sold for $1 even the next day then? I know that selling a vehicle means the buyer needs to pay about 3% stamp duty, but that wouldn't apply to other assets like a machine, or carport, or solar panels, or a dam, etc, right?

So, you need to talk to an accountant in Australia about this question. But if your goal is to protect assets, then simply have two limited companies. One who is an operator and the other is a 'leasing company' The leasing company can acquire capital equipment and lease it to the operating company and enjoy the depreciation while the operating company has an expense which can be fully offset against earnings. I've seen this kind of setup in many countries.

There is a difference between a registered business name and a trade style. These are transferred in different ways depending on your jurisdiction. Where I live, a name is moved over by a seller filling in a 'discontinuance of name' form and the buyer fills in a 'name registration' form with the same name and they mail them in together. Just call the government agency that takes care of business names where you live and ask how to do it. The name of the business, or trade style is an asset just like a piece of furniture.

Can you give corporations assets
@DavidCBarnett
@DavidCBarnett 5 жыл бұрын
You can. It's called an 'in-kind' contribution. For example, you could give a hammer to your corporation. The 'tools' asset would go up by $10 and the share capital would go up by $10 if you traded the hammer for shares. Get a CPA to help you though because there are rules around this type of stuff regarding how you value these assets that can vary by country. Corporations can also give services or stuff to shareholders as a dividend. It's called a distribution or dividend in kind. Again, consult a CPA.

My husband and his business partner formed a corporation that bought the assets of another company. New separate corporation. The new corp was named in a law suit and the judge ruled the new corp was responsible for what the other business did even though the new corp only bought the assets. How do you like them apples? Fortunately, it was found the other business wasn't responsible for the problem in the first place but if it had been, the new corp would have been on the hook for the damages. It's all in the hands of some judge's opinion. Should be the law plain and simple but we all know how that goes.

@DavidCBarnett 5 жыл бұрын
Yes, it depends on the type of claim and where you are. Employee claims, tax claims, and more can breach the ownership gap and follow the assets. It's why it's so important to have an attorney experienced in business transactions working with you so you know what the possible hazards are. Also why you always need a sizeable seller financing note subject to offsets.
