Two thoughts that small businesses may be thinking………

1)      Some businesses are worried because the burden of healthcare would limit hiring, leave insufficient cash flow for operating costs and stunt growth.

2)      Meanwhile, some businesses fought for this law, claiming that without Obamacare small businesses would lose existing benefits and be thrown back into the unsustainable system in place.

• If you’re self-employed and uninsured, you will be compelled to buy insurance. States can create a virtual market place — akin to Amazon or Travelocity — where consumers can purchase insurance. But, this will not be mandatory. Some states (like Florida) might opt out, in which case individuals will have to go directly to the insurance providers themselves.
• Companies with fewer than 50 employees do not have to provide insurance, but the new law will make it easier and cheaper if they do.
• Businesses with 50 or more employees must provide health insurance or pay a penalty. If the business fails to comply, the penalty is $2,000 for each full-time employee (with a 30-employee deduction.) Additionally, if the coverage offered is too expensive (defined as costing more than 9.5 percent of the employee’s household income), the penalty is $3,000 per employee who must buy insurance with a government subsidy. However, only 200,000 small businesses will be affected by these changes because over 96 percent of small businesses fall below the 50-employee threshold.
• Companies with up to 100 employees can benefit from the option of buying lower cost health insurance through employer-only exchanges, also set up by each state. This might also reduce costs for smaller firms if they add their employees to a much larger pool of insurance customers.
• Overall, the ACA brings a mixture of rules and benefits, but there is nothing to suggest that the healthcare shake up will hinder job creation and economic growth. In fact, it could inject order into the unruly medical marketplace if the administration explains benefits and requirements simply and clearly.

Rothwell can provide an option to help keep your full-time employee numbers down below 50…all the while keeping them happy and satisfied with payroll, benefits, and ability to claim expenses.

In 2013 (in preparation for 2014) all small businesses of USA need to decide if they are participating in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which requires large employers (50 employees and up) to either provide health care insurance or pay a shared responsibility fee if they don’’t provide affordable coverage (the fee/tax will be $2000-3000/yr per employee).

The law specifically exempts all firms that have fewer than 50 employees from any employer responsibility requirements.

To small businesses who choose to offer health care insurance (looking at both the numerous variables involved and the tax credits available) some small employers are choosing to offer either health care insurance, or offer monies to help with the insurance their employee’s found in the Exchange.

But some employers who are hovering around 50 employees are choosing not to be involved in the politics of being in the “large” employer category and are choosing to keep their employee numbers at 49 or below.

Businesses can choose an Employer –of –Record service and provide their valuable workers healthcare insurance and benefits the same as a large employer can. 

Some businesses may choose to keep their employee number below 50 and they will not have to worry about all of the complicated details.

Worried about straddling the line with ObamaCare and it’s potential costs?  Is your employee number at or around 50?

• The health care insurance costs will be extremely high!
• The penalties will be extremely high!

One option is to outsource your employees or contractors to an Employer-of-Record.  

Rothwell is a great option.  We can provide your employees or consultants with the benefits and services that they need.

Benefits for everyone, finally!

Thank you to the consultants who joined us at our Genesis Consultant’s Consortium meeting!  We had a great meeting with much great information flowing!

Two of the dominant issues that we discussed (and we would like to continue discussing) were:

1) Marketing and Networking. Take this opportunity ‘now’ to create your practices and procedures for Marketing and Networking your consulting practice because when you get your next consulting gig…you won’t have time.  The economy is still a bit flat, but it will not stay flat forever!  So we need to think ahead.  We also noticed that times are a’changing, and we need to stay on the forefront of methods to market ourselves.  Is LinkedIn still an important channel?  If so, are you keeping in touch with your network?   Don’t forget to blog, have a facebook fan-page, tweet, etc.  You must keep your name and specialty out there!

2) Get buy-in (or goals) from the CEO. Once on a project, it is mandatory to get buy-in from the CEO.  How many times have you been brought in to fix (say a Marketing or Sales problem), and the person you have been assigned to fix it with is the Marketing or Sales Manager (who actually created the problem).  You can see where this is going….  S/he does not attribute the problem to their systems at all.  This is not the optimal way to kick-off a project.

So, interesting stuff!  We have a lot to get after.  We will have another Meeting in a month.  Join us!

                                             Who’s Got Your Back?

                                                    Rothwell does!

Some consultants are especially attuned to running the business-aspects of their company. That may even be your specialty! But more than half of all project-based consultants are fending on their own…not of their own choice!

We at Rothwell realize your dilemma. The services and offerings we provide can help you feel whole again.

• Attain Health Care insurance and business insurances (Workers Comp, Liability, etc.) when joining. No need to talk to multiple brokers.

• Automatic invoicing, collections, tax filings, and more! No bookkeepers or accountants needed.

• Immediate TAX SAVINGS when claiming your expenses.

• Meet all compliance and contractual obligations and easily enter into all of your client sites.

Rothwell has a passion for consultants. Many consultants desire to be independent, and many would rather not be so independent (a little support would be nice)!

Rothwell can help you deal with all of these aggravating business aspects. Claim your life back!
