C reating a business from scratch is never an easy endeavor, but some entrepreneurs might carry the scars from the high costs associated with startups while others become their own boss relatively unscathed with much less of a financial burden.
An analysis conducted by LendingTree, the online lending marketplace, of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2016 Survey of Entrepreneurs (the most recent data available) found that 21% of entrepreneurs began their ventures with less than $5,000 in their business checking accounts.
Many things are taking place:
Carmel hotel project more than $20 million over original budget - Indianapolis Business Journal
Carmel’s high-end boutique hotel project, The Hotel Carmichael, is expected to cost at least $20 million more than the city first estimated in mid-2017.
City officials, on Friday night, said the total price tag for the city-backed project has risen to $58.5 million due to rising construction and labor costs. The hotel is slated to open in May.
IBJ began inquiring about rumored cost overruns on the project in mid-January, but the Carmel officials did not respond until issuing a general press release Friday night.
Will Budget 2020 make it easy for start-ups, MSMEs to do business?
In what seems to be one of the longest Budget speeches, the number of initiatives announced for start-ups and MSMEs were elaborate. A positive move is the proposal to increase the turnover threshold for audit to Rs 5 crore from Rs 1 crore at present. This will help small entrepreneurs who have limited administrative bandwidth.
Start-ups don't always have the financial muscle to attract talent and one of the ways at their disposal is to offer long-term value creation in the form of employee stock option plans (ESOPs), in place of short-term high compensation. But till now ESOPs were taxable even before the employee could realise the value. Now, the tax payment for ESOPs has been deferred by five years or till the employee leaves the company or when they sell the shares, whichever is earliest.
Budget 2020: LIC listing, IDBI Bank stake sale tops FM Sitharaman's agenda | Business Standard
Kajal Gandhi, analyst at ICICI Direct, said being a state-owned entity, LIC is likely to see a valuation gap versus private players. At even 25-30 per cent of its assets under management, the company could be valued at Rs 8-10 trillion. Even a 10 per cent dilution will be difficult for the market to absorb in one go and the government might do this in stages.
The larger question is whether the government would continue with the sovereign guarantee which comes with full ownership. If it does, there would be questions on corporate governance. And, with listing, the government cannot fund various organisations like they have done so far with LIC, notes corporate lawyer Ashvin Parekh. “This (listing) is being talked about since 2005.
