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. CI

Copyright trolls: know your obligations
The internet makes all sorts of information available, seemingly for free. But if you intend to use someone else’s content on your website, in your brochure or in your store, you need to license the use of it – this goes for videos, writing, music, or photographs.
But we all make mistakes. Maybe you unknowingly used a photo on your homepage from one of these websites, or an employee added it to your brochure.
If that happens, you might receive a letter from a company telling you to either pay to license it or remove it from usage, or face legal repercussions. So, you remove it from your site and hope that is the end of it. In many cases, that is the end – but what if it isn’t?
Let’s say a few months later, you receive an invoice from a law office stating you need to pay them $2,000 for copyright infringement, or they will take legal action. What is happening here?
You might be dealing with a copyright troll
Unlike stock photography websites like iStockphoto and Shutterstock, who make money on licensing fees, trolls merely pose as stock photo websites. These companies’ main source of income comes from threatening those who unwittingly use their photos without a license. That’s right, they want you to commit copyright infringement, so rather than getting a small amount of $20 per year for licensing a picture, they are hoping to land $2,000 from those who don’t know their rights.
Here are your options
According to an article by Samuelson-Glushko (cippic.ca/FAQ/ Copyright_Trolls), you have options if you receive an invoice from a law office. You could:
• Accept and pay the fee demanded.
• Negotiate for a lower fee.
• Offer a fee in line with what the company could expect for statutory damages (in Canada, $500 per work, up to $20,000).
• If you qualify as an innocent infringer, offer the company $200 per work as an equitable settlement offer.
• Tell the company that the work has been removed and say that ends the matter (and risk being sued).
• Ignore the company (and risk being sued).
What do you actually owe?
Generally, the courts in Canada are unlikely to award more than the minimum amount of $500 per work infringed. They also have the discretion to:
• Reduce damages up to $200 per unaware infringement.
• Reduce damages below the minimal amount where one medium, like your website, contains multiple infringing works and the total award would be grossly out of proportion to the infringement. You should be aware that trolls are not interested in low settlement
fees. Expect a troll to reject what you might consider a fair offer to settle, or a proposed settlement fee that is equal to what you would have paid to use the image had you sought a license at the time. That does not mean you have to pay the outrageous fees demanded by the troll. Again, it is a matter of risk: Are you likely to be sued? Do you want to incur the expense and bother of protracted demands?
Now a “collections firm” is threatening your credit rating! Is this true? Can a troll threaten your credit rating?
No. A troll’s demand is just that, a demand, an unsubstantiated allegation of copyright infringement. It is not until it turns into a successfully concluded lawsuit with a judgment against you that this demand turns into a debt.
At this point, if you refuse to pay the damages – the judgment debt –your credit may be threatened. If you look carefully at the troll’s “collections” communications, you will see that it is not really a collections agency. Usually, this is just a division of the troll’s business model, a part of the process of squeezing money from victims. It is deliberately deceptive and potentially unlawful.
If you find yourself in a potential copyright infringement conundrum, but are not being sued call a CFIB business counsellor to discuss your options (1.888.234.2232). If you are being sued, call your provincial law society. They can offer you a 30-minute phone consultation with a copyright lawyer for $25. CI

The business of business-to-business moving
BY CHUCK RESNICK
When 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 coordinator 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 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 coordinator should arrange for it. An example would be tearing down cubicles, disconnecting computers and electronics at the destination site and reassembling them. Spaceplanners are needed to accomplish this part of the move, especially when it comes to the cubicle set-up. 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-tobusiness 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 welldefined 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. CI

Make the most of your Windows
BY SARA BEDERMAN
Wonderful windows! Is there anything more welcome in a room? From a designer’s perspective, I doubt it. Windows become the natural focal point of any given space, as the source of light and views.
In fact, when you ask people what they want most in a home, “windows” and “views” will often top the list. It’s easy to understand why. Let’s start
with the obvious. Naturally lit spaces are more functional and “warmer.” Everything looks more vibrant and alive in the light of day. When
you’ve got great windows, rooms appear larger – which bodes well for compact spaces. A window or two completely transforms even a small room. Windows these days come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and designs. Here are some things to think about to highlight your windows.
Finishing touches
Think of the window trim as the frame containing a beautiful piece
of art. You want something that will complement the view, but also be a feature piece on its own merit. A contemporary trend is painting the trim work in a dark shade of grey or black, as an alternative to the traditional white baseboards, window and door frames. Also, consider your window dressings. Are you leaning toward contemporary shutters or blinds, or a classic curtain? When shopping, consider which type of window covering will best meet your needs for privacy, which will vary depending on whether this is a public versus a private space, like a bedroom or bathroom. Work with a knowledgeable company like Fieldstone Windows & Doors that can educate you on which materials for your window replacements are best to use; fibreglass, aluminum or wood.
Size and shape
As they say, go big or go home. If you’re adding windows, make them as large as allowed by the building code. Alternately, window walls have been trending for some time. This is a great way to maximize your views and natural light, and offer direct access to the outdoors. Ostaco Windows & Doors (ostaco.com) has a wide range of selections to choose from, to suit your home’s existing aesthetic – or to give it a whole new one.
Art and inspiration
If you’re graced with a fabulous view, why not make it something to be seen? Rather than hanging paintings or wall art that will compete with your windows, let the views do all the talking. You
can take cues from those views to make a cohesive, harmonious decor statement. This can mean a marine-inspired colour palette, organic, “woodsy” textures, or an “urban-chic” aesthetic. CI

With the ever-increasing demand for multi-unit residential properties amongst investors, a trend has been emerging over the last number of years. Many properties, and certainly buildings with 30+ units, are seeing multiple offers as part of an open bid submission process.

If you aren’t familiar with the bid submission process, it is the act of marketing a property for sale without providing a price. Typically, the Seller will provide all due diligence documents in advance of the offer deadline to allow buyers to determine what they are willing to offer on any given property. Sellers love this process as it can generally lead to multiple offers and can create a bidding war that drives up their end price. Buyers dislike this process, however, because they prefer to have some guidance on pricing going into the offer stage. As a brokerage, we are caught in the middle of wanting to deliver great results for our Seller and satisfying our buyer clients’ demands for more investment properties.

What we have been noticing with these open bid properties is that ‘upside’ becomes a very common discussion point. The value a buyer places on the upside in a building can often become the factor that makes their offer stand out among the rest, at least as it relates to purchase price.

When considering what the upside is on a property, its more than just rental rate upside, especially considering the lower vacancy rates seen in the Ontario market nowadays. Beyond the upside of what you could rent turned-over units for, investors are looking at upside in the utility consumptions by implementing programs to replace lighting with LED bulbs, installing Low-flow toilets in every unit, and investing in higher efficiency heating equipment. Upside can also be found in converting excess space in a building to either additional units, commercial space, or amenities that could draw in greater tenant rents. Sometimes even the location of the property itself

can have a form of upside for a particular buyer, in that they may own a building nearby and could create valued upside in the sharing of mutual expenses between each property.

Whatever the upside factors may be on any particular property, when going into a purchase process, understanding what YOUR value is on the upside will give you a leg up when bidding against other buyers. It appears that, at least for the time being, the sale price of the property is no longer determined just by market comparable sales. It is now the grey areas of upside that are driving the prices higher. Of course if every seller had their way, the Buyer would be paying for 100% of the upside in their purchase price but realistic sellers also know that they need to leave something on the table for a buyer. As a buyer, you need to know what the upside is and how much you are willing to pay for that upside. It is a business decision that only you can determine based on your operations.

To be fair when discussing bid submission processes, it should be stated that price may not always be the only factor when a seller chooses one offer to work with over another, but it is likely the most significant factor. As an example, buyers are becoming more and more organized in their purchasing processes in order to streamline their conditional periods and closing dates, as this can also help to achieve a sign back from a Seller when multiple offers are on the table. Especially if all offering prices are neck and neck, the terms of the offer becomes an important factor for a seller.
