Branding for Non-Branding People ''We're different from our competitors, but no one can see why.'' ''Nobody knows who we are and we can't break through the noise.'' ''We're struggling to charge a premium, even though what we do is top shelf.'' These may seem like sales or tactical challenges. In reality, they're brand issues. But what does ''brand'' mean in 2021? Together, we'll shed light on what branding is and how the branding process should work. We'll draw on our own experience as well as examples and best practices for context. In the end, we'll have a better understanding of how taking the time to get it right can help with some of the most common business challenges.

Are You Eligible for the Employee Retention Tax Credit? The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) didn’t get as much attention as part of the CARES Act because businesses could not claim both the PPP and ERTC. Since the PPP was a more lucrative stimulus in most cases, the majority of eligible businesses opted for the PPP. PPP + ERTC now allowed - Fast forward to the recently passed Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA). While yes, PPP Part 2 was funded, a change in the CAA allowed businesses that previously claimed a PPP to now retroactively claim an ERTC in addition to any PPP forgiveness received. As a result, many businesses are eligible for up to an additional $5,000 refundable credit per employee for 2020. Further, the ERTC was extended and sweetened for 2021 – a refundable credit is also available for up to $14,000 per employee for Q1 and Q2 of 2021. ... read more

Did you know that more than 30% of all family-owned businesses make the transition into the second generation? 12% will still be viable into the third generation, with only 3% of all family businesses operating at the fourth-generation level and beyond.

Facilitated by Kelly Borth (GREENCREST), our panel will feature family business leaders, Chelsea King (King Business Interiors, Inc.) and Steve, Austin, and Patrick Wathen (Equity, LLC).

Our panelists will also speak candidly about what the next generation means to their family business and how to support and prepare Next Gens to make a lasting impact.
