  Cars - to buy or not to buy?

  This week our Guest Speaker is Grant Pavett who brings us the second of his presentations to help small business owners prepare for the EOFY.  Here at Ettalong he will focus on Cars - to buy or not to buy?  Seems like a very good question ...

  Grant started his business the same year as the first incarnation of SBNG (Networking with a Twist) back in 2003.  He has a wealth of expertise aside from Accounting - he has worked as a Trade Assistant in a number of varied trades, a factory worker, bouncer, barman and CEO of a Registered Club!  Grant has also been the financial representative on an Australian Trade Mission to Palau.

  Through Vizion Accounting, Grant uses his various skills and experience to help business people achieve their goals.

  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  Small Business Asset Protection

  Our presentation this week comes from Isaac Chalik, a Solicitor with over 30 years business experience in property, finance, small business, franchising and more.  Isaac's claim to fame is a case he won against ANZ at Australian Financial Ombudsman which was used as a case study in 2018 Banking Royal Commission.

  Isaac's presentation will cover Asset Protection lifecycles and outline small business structures and their impact on asset protection.  There are a number of things to consider as you set up your small business, and also - something very few people factor in at the start - it's important to have an eye on your exit strategy.  The devil is in the detail when it comes to wills and succession planning.

  Sounds like a fascinating morning!

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!
