I’m by no means a huge football fan, but even I get excited by an international tournament. It’s great to allow flexitime if you can so that employees can watch at least the games where their home team is playing. And if restrictions allow, watching together can be a great team-building experience with colleagues!

Comment on Are you considering permanent home working for your business? by John Mather

John Mather — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 14:48:52 +0000

Just a couple of pieces of feedback:
Most companies wouldn’t notice any drop in Productivity because they don’t measure it.
The biggest practical risk is that with everyone working decentralised, away from a central office, the Corporate IT Security, Firewalls & anti-virus is no longer able to protect staff working at home, at Costa Coffee or a local business hub. So it is even more vital for staff to update their IT systems / programs etc. etc., whilst they are working away from the office.

Comment on Management Buy Outs – MBO’s and ‘How to Pay’ for them… by John Mather

What you call ‘deferred consideration’ l call ‘earn out’ and It basically protects the purchaser for not doing the job the seller should do before they sell it, which is to redesign the business, operationally, to Run / operate entirely without them before they sell it.

Few owners like running a business and then ceding power gradually to evolve into a business that operates entirely without their input prior to sale. Most owners want a sale and to exit the business, but most new owners want the opposite, to retain the old owners, for a defined time period, to ensure they haven’t done Due Diligence properly and haven’t bought a ‘Lemon‘, with lots of Undeclared risks and liabilities, mutinous staff or disgruntled customer base.

It’s entirely the exiting owners fault if they don’t organise the business first, to operate without their daily input, then wonder why they get a 2 year lock-in as part of the sale. Quite solvable Deferred Considerations, it just needs more preparation prior to sale.

It is so nice to find a solicitor who is primarily interested in their clients and their welfare.
