Lancaster Chamber of Commerce June Luncheon |

Learn How to Protect Your Business Against Cyber Crime
Presenter: Lt. Mark Stevens of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Commercial Crimes Bureau
The Commercial Crimes Bureau is responsible for investigating a wide range of financial crimes, including fraud, identity theft and high-tech computer crimes occurring in Los Angeles County.
In recent years, authorities have noticed exponential, worldwide growth in cybercrime and hacking activity, and as the technology outpaces security, government and law enforcement agencies find it increasingly difficult to keep up with the crooks. Because everything is computerized now, cybercrime affects all facets of social and economic life. Hacking intrusions into company and home computers are a constant threat. Thieves use malware to steal client lists and intellectual property and to commit identity theft.
Please join us as Lt. Stevens provides important tips for keeping your business and home safe from cyber criminals.
RSVPs are strongly suggested for this event.
Lancaster Chamber members: $20 (pay online) or
$25 at the door

Here I am in the last month in my position as Chairman of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. How time has flown!
First I would like to say what a privilege and honor it has been to serve in this position. This year, we have seen a great many changes in our Chamber. Under the leadership of Sandy Smith, our new COO, we have implemented many new programs and have greatly improved our offerings to our members including new education programs, a new website and mobile app, a larger scholarship program, the planning of a new Young Entrepreneur Academy, and increased membership. These changes will positively impact the Lancaster Chamber for years to come.
In closing, the opportunity to lead my fellow board members has been a true pleasure. I have done my best to live up to the high standards you deserve and value the time I have spent as your chair. I will be leaving my post in the very capable hands of our new Chairwoman, Tamara Stoebe, who will pick up the torch and will take the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce to greater heights.
With appreciation, I say goodbye as your 2013-2014 chairman.
Gene Melchers
Chairman of the Board

Turn Your Vacation into a Tax Deduction |

Courtesy of Cobb Doerfler & Associates, CPA Accountants and Tax Preparers
Tim, who owns his own business, decided he wanted to take a two-week trip around the US. So he did--and was able to legally deduct every dime that he spent on his vacation. Here's how he did it.
1. Make all your business appointments before you leave for your trip. Most people believe that they can go on vacation and simply hand out their business cards in order to make the trip deductible.
Wrong.
You must have at least one business appointment before you leave in order to establish the "prior set business purpose" required by the IRS. Keeping this in mind, before he left for his trip, Tim set up appointments with business colleagues in the various cities that he planned to visit.
Let's say Tim is a manufacturer of green office products and is looking to expand his business and distribute more of his products. One possible way to establish business contacts--if he doesn't already have them--is to place advertisements looking for distributors in newspapers in each location he plans to visit. He could then interview those who respond when he gets to the business destination.
Example: Tim wants to vacation in Hawaii. If he places several advertisements for distributors, or contacts some of his downline distributors to perform a presentation, then the IRS would accept his trip for business.
Tip: It would be vital for Tim to document this business purpose by keeping a copy of the advertisement and all correspondence along with noting what appointments he will have in his diary.
2. Make Sure your Trip is All "Business Travel." In order to deduct all of your on-the-road business expenses, you must be traveling on business. The IRS states that travel expenses are 100 percent deductible as long as your trip is business related and you are traveling away from your regular place of business longer than an ordinary day's work and you need to sleep or rest to meet the demands of your work while away from home.
Example: Tim wanted to go to a regional meeting in Boston, which is only a one-hour drive from his home. If he were to sleep in the hotel where the meeting will be held (in order to avoid possible automobile and traffic problems), his overnight stay qualifies as business travel in the eyes of the IRS.
Tip: Remember: You don't need to live far away to be on business travel. If you have a good reason for sleeping at your destination, you could live a couple of miles away and still be on travel status.
3. Be sure to deduct all of your on-the-road-expenses for each day you're away. For every day you are on business travel, you can deduct 100 percent of lodging, tips, car rentals, and 50 percent of your food. Tim spends three days meeting with potential distributors. If he spends $50 a day for food, he can deduct 50 percent of this amount, or $25.
Tip: The IRS doesn't require receipts for travel expense under $75 per expense--except for lodging.
Example: If Tim pays $6 for drinks on the plane, $6.95 for breakfast, $12 for lunch, $50 for dinner, he does not need receipts for anything since each item was under $75.
Tip: He would, however, need to document these items in your diary. A good tax diary is essential in order to audit-proof your records. Adequate documentation includes amount, date, place of meeting, and business reason for the expense.
Example: If, however, Tim stays in the Bates Motel and spends $22 on lodging, will he need a receipt? The answer is yes. You need receipts for all paid lodging.
Tip: Not only are your on-the-road expenses deductible from your trip, but also all laundry, shoe shines, manicures, and dry-cleaning costs for clothes worn on the trip. Thus, your first dry cleaning bill that you incur when you get home will be fully deductible. Make sure that you keep the dry cleaning receipt and have your clothing dry cleaned within a day or two of getting home.
4. Sandwich weekends between business days. If you have a business day on Friday and another one on Monday, you can deduct all on-the-road expenses during the weekend.
Example: Tim makes business appointments in Florida on Friday and one on the following Monday. Even though he has no business on Saturday and Sunday, he may deduct on-the-road business expenses incurred during the weekend.
5. Make the majority of your trip days count as business days. The IRS says that you can deduct transportation expenses if business is the primary purpose of the trip. A majority of days in the trip must be for business activities; otherwise, you cannot make any transportation deductions.
Example: Tim spends six days in San Diego. He leaves early on Thursday morning. He had a seminar on Friday and meets with distributors on Monday and flies home on Tuesday, taking the last flight of the day home after playing a complete round of golf. How many days are considered business days?
All of them. Thursday is a business day, since it includes traveling - even if the rest of the day is spent at the beach. Friday is a business day because he had a seminar. Monday is a business day because he met with prospects and distributors in pre-arranged appointments. Saturday and Sunday are sandwiched between business days, so they count, and Tuesday is a travel day.
Since Tim accrued six business days, he could spend another five days having fun and still deduct all his transportation to San Diego. The reason is that the majority of the days were business days (six out of eleven). However, he can only deduct six days' worth of lodging, dry cleaning, shoe shines, and tips. The important point is that Tim would be spending money on lodging, airfare, and food, but now most of his expenses will become deductible.
Consult us before you plan your next trip. We'll show you the right way to legally deduct your vacation when you combine it with business. Bon Voyage!

City of Lancaster Adopts Ordinance to Pursue Community Choice Aggregation, Giving Lancaster Residents "The Power to Choose"
Lancaster, CA. May 14, 2014 - During last night's Lancaster City Council meeting, the City Council approved an ordinance declaring the City's intent to explore establishment of a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA). The program named Lancaster Choice Energy will procure and sell power to Lancaster businesses and residents at competitive rates, while also delivering a consumer-driven mix of energy choices featuring clean energy and local generation. Rates will be set by the City Council, providing for local control and greater accountability.
"We are eager to get this program underway because it empowers our citizens with the ability to choose their energy providers," said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. "Price competitive choices will be available, offering a tremendous benefit to residents and business owners who can select which options best meet their needs. Choice Energy will open up the market and be consumer-driven, setting the path for an even brighter energy future for Lancaster residents."
Southern California Edison (SCE) will continue to provide transmission, distribution, and billing services, as well as hold ownership of all physical power transmission assets. Additionally, power outages and line repairs will continue to be handled by SCE.
One of the most attractive features for residents will be 'You-tility', which will provide two energy generating options from which to choose; a renewable energy source for a slightly higher cost and an economy package that maximizes cost-savings. The City will also have the ability to establish specialized economic development rates to aid in business attraction and job creation through the 'Clear Choice' program.
The Lancaster City Council will require staff to return before them for final approval as the process progresses and implementation nears. City staff will continue to work with industry experts to further explore and develop the CCA effort. If all goes well and the effort remains favorable; municipal City accounts will transfer to CCA service in May 2015. Commercial availability will be next, followed by residential transfers to CCA service later in 2015.
"The City will be the test case for this program because we want to make sure any potential issues are addressed and dealt with prior to public enrollment," added Mayor Parris. "We will ensure business owners and residents experience a smooth and successful transition to Choice Energy."
During the enrollment period, customers will receive a minimum of four notices via mail informing them of their enrollment date and providing details about the Choice Energy program. Customers who wish to remain with SCE can follow a simple opt-out procedure.

What You Must Know About Business Valuation
What is your business worth?
That's a potentially important question for many reasons, not just selling. But most owners have only a vague idea of what their business would really be worth. And most of those who think they know are probably wrong.
Professional appraisers who regularly conduct business valuations say that owners err on both ends of the spectrum. Some fail to include intangible assets in their estimate and tend to undervalue what they've built over time. Others think their businesses are worth much more than the market would dictate. And of course, sentiment often interferes with good business judgment.
In many cases, owners don't consider this a top priority. But there are many reasons why you should have at least an idea of what it's worth (I list four of these below).
The value of a business is normally defined as its fair market value, or the price at which a property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller who are both informed and under no compulsion to act. Minority valuations assess just a percentage of the value of the firm and apply discounts for the minority owner's lack of control and possible lack of marketability of the business.
Independent business appraisers value companies and business interests of all sizes. And a valuation includes intangible business assets such as patents, trademarks, employment agreements, copyrights and goodwill.
Business owners often bring in an appraiser to prepare for a purchase, a merger or an employee stock ownership plan. Or a valuation might be needed for estate and gift tax returns, buy-sell agreements, litigation, tax challenges, divorce or many other purposes.
But even if there's nothing on the immediate horizon, every business owner should have a current valuation in his or her desk drawer as a tool for helping make informed decisions about the company's direction. An objective and independent valuation gives you a much clearer picture of where you're going.
Here are four more reasons to perform a business valuation:
- To understand where your business fits in the industry landscape. A business valuation will describe precisely where you fit in your industry or specialized market, including the market price or value of similar businesses recently sold or publicly traded.
- To gain more insight into your "real world" financial condition. As a business owner, you probably have P&L and other financial reports to give you a picture of your financial health. But a valuation that includes intangible assets can expand on, confirm or deny existing beliefs.
- Make fast decisions on expansion, financing, sale or merger opportunities. When opportunities knock, you might not have time to conduct a business valuation. Having a current valuation in hand will let you pursue opportunities as they arise.
- Make smart choices to enhance the value of your business. A valuation will highlight the things that make a business valuable, and show you ways that you can increase what your business is worth.
Selecting a business valuation expert is not an easy affair. You'll see an alphabet soup of business valuation credentials such as ASA, ABV, CVA and CBA.
The American Society of Appraisers (ASA) can provide a breakdown of different business valuation credentials to help you find the right professional. The ASA website (www.appraisers.org) is a great place to gather information on business valuations and to find an accredited business valuator. Their new "Business Valuation" section has a "Find a BV Appraiser" tool that lets you search by name, location and area of specialization.
These other resources can help:
- Lincoln Financial Group offers an online business valuation calculator. Visit www.lfg.com. Under "Planning Tools" look for Financial Calculators, and then "Other Calculations" to find Business Valuation.
- The National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA) offers a free service online to help you find a credentialed business valuation expert. Just click the "Need Your Business Valued?" button on the homepage at www.nacva.com.
- The Business Valuation Toolkit, from MoneySoft, is a collection of software, data and productivity tools that will help you determine what your company is worth. Visit www.moneysoft.com.
- ValueHound (www.valhound.com) is a low-cost valuation service that business owners use for self-directed 401(k) and IRA annual valuation requirements. They offer a basic do-it-yourself 5-page version for $199 that's delivered in 7 days.
