Why franchises & "businesses in a box" can be very risky
On The Australian Business Podcast this week (don't forget, we go live twice a week), I -- Owen Rask -- catch up with my co-hosts Danil Goloubev and Jordan Kidis to talk about franchises AKA "businesses in a box".This Australian Business Podcast episode was prompted by a question from a loyal Rask podcast listener, who asked:I am a Physio planning to start my own Clinic (small business). I am torn between joining a Pre existing Physio franchise group (with processes and structures already in place) or starting my own clinic and trying to climb that mountain myself! What factors would you consider when making a decision on this conundrum?

Danil just had a baby (congrats!), Jordan just bought a Tesla, and Owen... also placed an order for a Tesla (even though he LOVES his banged-up old Subaru).Almost every person or business owns a vehicle for business and private use.

How to work out if your car is tax deductible
Why does it make sense to buy a base model Tesla with ATO rules? (Check Luxury Car Tax)
What does Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) means and how to calculate it
How to calculate depreciation on your car using the logbook
How to do a logbook and remind yourself
How much can tradies claim on their car?
Can office workers claim the cost of a car?

Make more profit from July 1st: Owen & Jordan's top 8 ways to crush your business financials and make more profit
The economy is on the rocks. Your business could be about to get knocked. Don't leave your business strategy to chance!The Australian Business Podcast is back and your host Owen Rask speaks with Jordan Kidis, co-founder of Grey Space Advisory, about their 8 best tips for managing your business in the new financial year.These business tips are simple, effective and can be implemented right now.Owen & Jordan's tips for the new FY:
Get the optimal number of bank accounts: how to manage your finances day-to-day. Jordan suggests two bank accounts.
Use software (use Xero for good sized businesses, and perhaps Hnry for tiny businesses).
Know how much cash to put aside for tax. Scott Pape recently said he puts 35% away. Is that too much?
Automation - tradies and self-employed - get the ATO app. Everyone: take photos of every receipt and upload to Xero.
Use e-commerce tools (even if you're not in ecom). If you sell a product or service, ask yourself, can it be done online via a website? Think courses, consulting packages, memberships, etc. or even merch?
Have a centralised planner for content and your team's resources.
Put 3 hours aside every month, same day, same time, to retro (look back on the month) and look forward.
We're biased but get an expert: the cost of good accounting and bookkeeping isn't much when you consider the return from great advice. If your accountant isn't pulling their weight, shop around now!
