  "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.

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!
