Ransomware Is Targeting Small Businesses
During the pandemic, data breaches disproportionately affected smaller companies; they were targeted at twice the rate of larger businesses. Since the pandemic, those same smaller companies have been struggling with COVID-19 fallout ranging from supply and labor shortages to bouts of inflation. All those preoccupations have left them more vulnerable to ransomware attacks.
Classifying Your Employees Correctly
Employee classifications are based on job duties and responsibilities. The classifications impact compensation, benefits and work hours; they are also used by employers to maintain compliance with labor laws.
Concerned About Maximizing Your Business Value?
According to StoneBridge Business Partners in Rochester, New York, business owners often pass their businesses on to their adult children, using an estate-planning option or gifting program. Other owners believe that the sale of their business represents a prudent way to liquidate their holdings.
Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Budgeting is not only about putting numbers on a spreadsheet to plan for the next quarter or year or longer. The process of planning a truly useful budget requires a deep dive into your strategy over the budgeted period and a real look at your current resources and how they are being deployed.
