Married to the business? ADVERTISING FEATURE It’s not only Coronavirus that can cause devastation to a business... Our client’s business began many years ago as a small-hold farm run by a married couple, which flourished into a thriving family business involving extended family and employees. The business had managed to weather the storms of the economic fall-out, recent global events and many recessions. The couple are now sadly separated. Every decision was made together - until now. The present relationship breakdown threatens closure of the business because neither of them can agree how to move it forward. This is an example of many collaborations that hinge on good relationships when everyone pulls together. It’s taken six months to accept that the business must be sold if terms aren’t agreed and each day delayed causes long-term economic damage. We all know that disagreement is inevitable in any working and personal relationship. Outright warfare can result from those relationships turning sour and particularly when self-interest takes priority. Often it’s how we prepare for these times that saves the business from economic and personal lockdown. Decisions often need to be taken urgently with a cool head. The right provisions and the right legal written agreement for your business can, and often do, direct the way ahead. Depending on which article you read, the economy will thrive as we emerge from the isolation of national lockdown. The time is always right to review your business needs. We recommend you: • Hold frank discussions about those eventualities to prevent uncomfortable conversations later • Agree steps to take in any buy-out, retirement, sale of part and how to mediate or arbitrate when tensions rise • Agree time-frames for talks to steer the storms whenever they arise • Plan for succession planning Relationship breakdown or divorce is hard enough and the family business needs to keep going at this time for the sake of the whole family. The right relationship lawyer will discuss how any break-up won’t mean financial ruin. Speak to a business-minded lawyer about drawing up the right agreement to suit your SME. We can help with frank talks on succession planning too.

As a qualified ear practitioner I offer ear wax removal using the micro suction technique, In the comfort of your own home. Wax can give you up to a forty decibel loss in hearing when the auditory canal is badly impacted. Known as a conductive loss of hearing, impacted wax can stop sound waves from entering through to the eardrum. It makes sounds muffled and can also make it hard to follow a conversation. It is so important to keep good hearing health as this also helps prevent against cognitive decline. I also work in partnership with an independent company of private audiologists ‘Diamond Hearing Services’ who can assess your hearing and give you independent advice on a number of quality leading brands of hearing aids that can be tailored to your needs. If you experience sudden onset of hearing loss, especially in one ear it is important to book an urgent appointment with your GP for further investigation. Please don’t hesitate to call me and book a home visit: Call 07943 562 003 Penelope Harrison is a fully insured Member of the BSHAA. £85.00 for home visit inclusive of micro suction. 12 | www.minervamagazines.co.uk
