Business Advisory Service

"Sometimes, its not how much money you make, its how much money you get to keep":- If you own a business, take a look at a situation that we have discovered. This is about TWO companies of Similar Size, operating in the same industry, in the same State/City; and in the same year:-

Company#1

Gross Annual Revenue    $920,250

Net Profit                          $598,163 (65% Profit).

Company #2

Gross Annual Revenue   $1,540,310

Net Profit                            $262,093 (17% Profit).

**NOTE:- Company #2 earned $620,060 more revenue than Company #1; and Company #2 has generated $336,070 less profit than Company#1. Large companies are facing a similar situation(Trend Analysis). We have found the problem and ways to apply leverage to increase Margins and Profitability(Key Performance Indicators) to company #2 after we have benchmark the company(Key Performance Indicators Vs Industry benchmark). The owners are being guided by a new vision and unifying goals; and we follow up with them monthly.

***(Things that get measured get improved. Key Performance Indicators show how efficient and profitable a company is when compared to the industry benchmarks).

Business Advisory Service

Small and Large Corporations are frequently confronted with this decision, "Buy Vs Lease":-

A) Buy or Lease/Rent trucks and equipment.

B) Buy or Lease/Rent a building to house Offices, Workshop, Warehouse, and/or Parking Garage.

**Both Leasing and Buying have Financial Benefits, Tax Benefits, and Drawbacks (Pros & Cons)that are too numerous to discuss here. However, the reality is 65% of businesses Lease/Rent office space, building, vehicles, and equipment because:-

#1)Lease payments are financially feasible and they are fully tax deductible business expense. When money from those tax breaks are invested wisely the return on investment is the same as, and sometimes it is better than, owning a property.("Law Firms leasing doubles in NY City", Crains New York Business, Page 06, October 25, 2021).

#2)Vendors prefer to Lease/Rent their equipment to business customers because leasing provides those vendors with a Recurring Income Stream.

#3)Landlords prefer to Lease/Rent their buildings to commercial tenants because those buildings provide them with a Recurring Income Stream; and they passed on those buildings to their heirs (Estate Planning) instead of selling those buildings to their tenants/business owners.

#4)Many Business Owners and Major Corporations prefer to lease space/buildings in accordance to/with their BUSINESS STRATEGIC  PLAN. Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc have $billions in Net Profits and they are Leasing more production and office space instead of buying those buildings or constructing new building of their own. Amazon signed a 15-year lease at the Hudson Yards in Manhattan. The property is  owned by Brookfield Properties ("Crains NY Business", Pg 06, Nov. 29, 2021).
