Greetings!
The post-war second quarter of 2003 starts off with a
soar in consumer confidence, the largest gain since the
end of the Gulf War in 1991 according to Conference
Board, a New York-based business research group.
Businesses, of course, remain vulnerable to
uncontrollable variables such as political climate,
consumer protection and state and federal regulations.
Now, more than ever, you must structure and insulate
your business - possibly your greatest asset - from
tenuous global politics. The month's articles discuss
establishing steady growth and niche position through
marketing and increasing business value by tracking
and maximizing the value of phantom assets. Finally,
we explore the best legal structure for your business
and charitable remainder trusts as an important tax
savings vehicle.
