"Are you fit to grow?"
Presented by Mark Richardson, CR

Join us
for a complimentary evening of cocktails, dinner, networking and a special presentation. The last five years have not only been tough, they have changed how we look at the consumer, the marketing/sales approaches and also the fundamental business of remodeling. These times have made growth for any business difficult; however, with the uptick on many fronts it is time to begin to grow again. Before you dive into a growth mode it is good to ask: Are you fit to grow?

In this session we will begin to define growth, unpack some of the risks and opportunities and share 12 business themes to position for growth. You will not only be better prepared and positioned for the future, you will also be motivated and have the conviction to make it happen - it has been said "if a business is not growing, it is dying."

 

Reserve your seat at this invaluable industry event today.




 GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS UPDATE

 

Cook County passed an ordinance, 12-O-3, effective 4/1/13, that imposes a new nontitled personal property use tax for non-titled personal property purchased outside of Cook County but first subjected to use within Cook County at 1.25%

 

If the purchaser resides within Cook County or the personal property is delivered to an address within Cook County, is prima facia proof that the property was purchased for use within Cook County and was first used within Cook County on the date of delivery.

 

People subject to this tax must register with the Cook County Department of Revenue.  Tax returns appear to be due monthly. 

 

 


BECOME AN E-PUBLICATIONS SPONSOR!

E-Publications sponsorship only costs $150 per month for NARIGC members with a guarantee of at least FOUR emails sent out to more than 400 industry recipients.

You pick the month (only one sponsor per month, first come, first reserved), and on each broadcast email that NARIGC sends out that month, your banner ad will appear at the top of each email.  It can also be a clickable link to your website.

At the end of each month sponsored, you will receive reports on each email sent.  If you are interested, please contact Mimi at mimi@narichicago.org, and she will send you the ad specs.

 

 

 RRP  RULE

Remember, if you are working on houses built pre-1978, you must be Lead Certified!  Fines are in the tens of thousands of dollars!  Find out if you are required to be certified and if the buildings you work on qualify under the rule.

NEW "KNOW YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS" BROCHURE

 

 

 Before engaging in the business of home repair and remodeling, this brochure must be presented to the client.  If the contract is more than $1,000, in Illinois a contractor is required to put the contract in writing, provide the customer with a copy of the "Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights" pamphlet, and obtain written acknowledgement of their receipt of the brochure.

 

The Illinois Attorney General's office has updated that pamphlet and requires that this up-to-date version (click link above) be distributed and signed by the homeowner.

 

If the contractor does not retain a signed copy of the Homeowner Acknowledgement portion of this pamphlet, Illinois court cases have been decided that the contractor may forfeit his or her rights to collecting monies owed!
