    10 Cardinal Rules for Business Growth
    After over 30 years of participating in hundreds of businesses, competing in at least as many different industries, with companies marketing both products and services, you begin to develop and accumulate some fundamental businesses axioms or “rules of thumb” that seem to make more sense everyday and gain more value in business practice as your career continues to advance and evolve.You like to think what you have learned and the business knowledge you have retained alon
    If you die without making a Will in the UK, the state will decide who gets what and how much, so those who you would want to benefit may get far less than you hoped.

    Your estate (your property and all belongings) are frozen and become subject to the law of intestacy. You are said to have died 'intestate', meaning everything you own will be valued, tax paid at 40% if worth more than ?275,000 (as at August 2005) and then shared out to your surviving spouse or relatives or given to the state if you don't have any.

    The problem with this is that neither you or your family will have any say in the matter if you didn't make a Will. The beneficiaries and the share they receive will be decided by the state and the whole process can takes months or even years because you didn't take the time to make a Will.

    Whilst the law and complete strangers decide how your belongings are shared, your surviving spouse or partner has all the usual household and living expenses to pay. If you are the main breadwinner they will probably be on a reduced income. Your surviving spouse or partner may not have access to money, she or he would normally have a right to if you had made a Will, because the assets could be frozen until all the formalities have been sorted out. If you have got a valid Last Will and testament it should take no longer than three months to complete the legal process and release your assets to the people who you chose.

    So Who Gets What if You Die Without Making a Will?

    When someone dies without making a Will or Last Will and Testament, their estate (all their property and belongings) are distributed according to the law of intestacy. This is where, in effect, the state writes your Will for you and is most likely not to meet your wishes. The following outlines the basic rules that decides who gets what:

    If you are married at the time of your death
    Your spouse will get everything if you left less than ?125,000. If more than ?125,000 is left but you leave no children, parents or siblings, then your spouse will still get everything.

    If you are married with children at the time of your death
    If you die leaving a spouse and children, then your spouse will get the first ?125,000 and your personal effects. The remainder is divided as follows: your spouse gets a life interest in half and the other half is divided between your children. A life interest means that your spouse is entitled to the income on that half for their lifetime and on their death it will automatically pass to your children.

    If you are married without children but have parents or siblings
    If you die with no children, but have surviving parents or siblings, then your spouse gets the first ?200,000 plus personal effects and the remainder is divided two ways. Your spouse will get half and the other half goes to your parents. If your parents have pre-deceased you, this share is divided between your siblings.

  • If you leave children then it will be divided equally between them.

  • If there are no children or parents, then your siblings will receive everything.

  • If none of these people are still alive, then it will be divided among your uncles and aunts.

    Hiring Employees: Checking References To Insure Quality People
    When you must take on employees for your business, you will have to go through the hiring process.
