In 2017, I decided to remove myself from the office and become a remote business owner. We moved from the Squamish, British Columbia, to Vancouver Island, and two years later to Costa Rica. While not a traditional move for most business owners, there was a method to the madness.

Bayview business owners push back on SF plan to limit housing in dilapidated industrial stretch -
For the past few years, Fallon and his three siblings have been quietly working on a housing proposal there. The warehouse site in San Francisco, which could accomodate up to 100 homes, is now used for storage and has just one employee. Building housing would bring people and activity to the property and take advantage of the $660 million T-Third Muni line. Bayview residents were promised new housing and shops when officials were selling the light rail years ago.
Businesses in the area are pushing for more flexibility that would allow housing and retail there, arguing that trying to protect struggling blue-collar businesses will only result in more vacancies and blight, not in more jobs. With the exception of one property owner — a dog-boarding business — every tenant and property owner opposes the new zoning.
Advisers say regulation will be biggest shaper of business - InvestmentNews
More than half of financial advisers believe regulation will be the most significant shaper of the advice industry over the next three to five years, according to a new survey by CoreData Research.

About four in 10 advisers (44%) say the low-return environment, geopolitical risk (44%) and fee compression (41%) will affect the business as well. Less important, survey respondents said, will be market volatility (39%), the macroeconomic environment (35%), the impact of fintech (20%) and industry consolidation (10%).

It used to be that going public was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for many businesses. Entrepreneurs would dream of ringing the bell to open trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Wanting to take your business public is still an exciting, ambitious and admirable goal. However, in recent years there has been a trend among companies to stay private.
Grubhub Subscription Meets Aggregator Business | PYMNTS.com
Grubhub's 2020 start has been a bit bumpy thus far — it was passed by DoorDash in late January in terms of food delivery market share, according to some estimates , and has been dogged by rumors that it is looking to put itself up for sale.
The firm publicly denied these rumors — a few times — and as of its last earnings report the firm was showing some distinct signs of renewed strength with a 19 percent revenue increase to $341 million from $288 million at the same time last year. The platform also saw greater-than-expected growth of its user base to 23 million, up from 18 million enrolled at the end of 2018, and jump in platform usage with average "grubs" up 8 percent year on year from last year to 502,600.
