A lot of businesses today have found that using a wireless credit card swiper in order to complete a sales transaction is the most practical, and efficient mode of payment that is available these days. Because many customers today prefer to pay using their credit cards and their debit cards, business owners make it a point to invest in these portable card swipers and readers in order to fully accommodate the needs of their customers. Many customers today fail to realize that wireless credit card payment terminals are actually newcomers in the industry; what’s great about these equipment is that these do not require power cords or electricity in order to work and that most are small and lightweight enough to fit inside pockets or bags. There are also wireless swipers that have been specifically designed to accept provision cards for food, clothing and other necessities that have been provided to people needing government assistance.

Another advantage of these wireless Credit Card Processing devices is that business owners no longer need to worry about spending a long time waiting for their sales transactions to be completed since the device can stay connected via WiFi, cable and DSL. Customers are assured of quick and safe transactions because their credit cards are swiped and a receipt of the sale is printed out in their presence; also, they would no longer need to worry about having their credit card information getting lost or being stolen and used to commit fraud since the merchants do not keep records of their credit card information, anyway. For the part of the business owners, these helps them to cut down on overhead costs because wireless terminals do not require a separate phone line for it to work, making that one less bill to worry about, as well as eliminating the need to hire another person to keep track of cash transactions since the merchant is mostly accepting credit card payments, anyway.

A lot of businesses these days are using wireless Credit Card Reader because of the mobility it provides them; they can bring their business and their products anywhere and be able to accept payments regardless of the time and place. This would ensure that the business owner would not miss out on any opportunity to close a sale, thereby increasing the revenue. It also helps to boost the business’ overall productivity and efficiency since the sales teams can accomplish the sales transactions by themselves on the spot because they no longer need to turn over the payment process to a different department or person; this lessens delays and errors in filing and calculations.

The constantly changing tax laws are an ever present threat to the succession and continuation of a family enterprise. Be sure to use the experienced expertise of a business accounting firm, estate planning attorney, tax attorney and business attorney to ensure you will maximize your profits while minimizing tax liability, while successfully planning to pass on your estate and business to your heirs in the most tax preferential way. Keep these estate planning considerations and challenges in mind when planning your family business for succession and continuation.

Maintaining Liquidity

If there is insufficient cash to pay for estate taxes, then the cash will be drained from the business when it truly needs it most. Plan for the perpetuation of the family business and maintaining its liquidity and cash flow or you may be forced to sell its prized assets or exclusively.

Proper Estate Planning will…

• Significantly reduce the necessary need for heirs and beneficiaries to have to remove funds from the business.
• Maintain beneficiaries’ interest stakes by keeping funds in the Company.
• Provide a fluent transition when developed in conjunction with the Management/ Leadership Strategic & Succession Plan and the Company’s Operating Authority Plan.

Sell the Controlling Stake in Advance

Selling the patriarch’s / matriarch’s stake in the business, in advance of any Succession Plan implementation (whether a planned or sudden departure) to family members can be the best estate planning a family business can employ, while giving the business leader control of the Company and Business Plan until the agreed upon relinquishment.

Tools to Minimize Estate Tax Liability

There are a host of structural tools which can be used to minimize estate tax liability, that should be fully explored with your Financial Advisory Team, such as:

• Gifting
• Stock Sales
• Trusts
• Limited Liability Corporations
• Family Limited Partnerships
• Share holder Buy/ Sell Agreements

Business Valuation

A value of the business that is in compliance with IRS rules and regulations is of paramount importance, as both overvaluing or undervaluing a business for tax purpose can be very expensive mistakes. Having an excellent team of tax and financial advisors to assist you is absolutely essential.

Consult a Tax Attorney and CPA

Experienced tax attorneys and CPAs specializing in family businesses are an absolute must. Seek their advice and opinion. This article is not meant as tax or legal advice. Be sure to consult a licensed professional.
