Meet HGA Finance: What can Toby do for you?
We are pleased to have Toby Cowx on the HGA team to bring you and your business innovative financing solutions. If you have ever asked yourself any of the following questions, then a conversation with Toby may be the answer: 

  • Do you want to sell, acquire, leverage up to increase working capital, or take Equity out?
  • You are not sure how best to leverage your opportunities with the bank or need a solution outside of conventional lending.  Debt, Lease, or Equity, what’s your best option? 
  • Do I need to provide a personal guarantee? Can I limit the amount I am personally exposed to? Are there alternatives?

These are all questions that Toby has helped clients solve, in Canada, in the US and even farther abroad.
If you'd like more information, reach out to Toby for a free consultation and he'd be happy to help.

2. Are your wipers in good working condition? 
3. Have you tested your heater & defrost systems?

HGA Law: Your duties as an employer regarding workplace bullying 
As more and more employees are returning to work, it is important for employers to be reminded of their obligations with respect to workplace bullying. Under Alberta law, employers have a duty to create and maintain a workplace that is free of discriminatory harassment. Further, it is not enough for an employer to simply receive a complaint and offer assurances that it will be taken seriously without actually investigating the claim in a timely manner.

A recent Ontario court decision reiterates this point. The employee, who had repeatedly made assertions that she was being bullied and faced a hostile working environment, was awarded $50,000 in aggravated damages to be paid by the employer for failing to investigate the allegations.

To learn more about an employer’s duties and responsibilities regarding workplace bullying, please contact a member of HGA Law or visit their website at the link below.

HGA Wealth: Protect your business with insurance
It may not be something top of mind, but proper insurance can help:

  • Protect your business if one of your key employees dies, becomes seriously ill or can’t work due to an injury.
  • Pay off your business loans if you die unexpectedly. 
  • Provide you or your partner with the funds to buy shares of the business if one of you becomes too sick or injured to work, or dies suddenly.
  • Cover expenses for you or your family if you experience a serious illness, injury or worse and aren’t able to run the business.

Canada Life is currently offering four free months premium on qualifying, new Canada Life Term 20, Term 30 and Term to age 65 policies. For a new policy to qualify, your application must be received by Dec. 1 2020.

Black Heron Gym: Connect with your breathing!

Have you connected with your breathing lately? Do you sense it's shallow and mostly in your chest?  Learning to breathe deeply and gently is one of the most powerful ways to alleviate stress and help you to calm down, while also improving memory and concentration.

Take 5 minutes each day to focus on your breathing (I like to do this either first thing in the morning or last thing before bed). You can either sit or lie down, but make sure you are in an environment where you can relax. Allow your rib cage to expand with your inhale and on each exhale, think about relaxing a little deeper into your own body. Take note of how you feel before you start your breathing practice and again once you have finished.
