Business Owners: If 2010 revenues and earning suffered due to the 2010 BP oil spill...


You are invited…

Join Global Wealth Consultants, LLC and Economic Recovery Group for an informational session on the Deepwater Horizon Court‐supervised Settlement Program. Enjoy a special educational and networking opportunity, and refreshments.

Date: March 5th, 2013
Time: 5:15pm‐6:30pm
Location: Global Wealth Consultants, LLC
8995 Fontana Del Sol Way Naples, FL
R.S.V.P by March 1st (239) 919‐2115


Most industries are eligible under the terms of the settlement.
However, most business owners and professionals simply do not know that they are specifically included within the terms of the new settlement agreement, and that they may well have valid claims. BP is one of the biggest proponents of this program because it represents a way for it to resolve hundreds of thousands of claims and move on.


Helping Florida Businesses Navigate the BP Settlement Program

ERG is a statewide law firm representing businesses along Florida’s west coast who suffered direct or indirect economic losses after the April 20, 2010 BP oil spill.
The Deepwater Horizon Court‐supervised Settlement Program is helping Florida recover.
Many west coast companies saw a more significant decline in their business in 2010 as compared to the rest of the country due to the trickle‐down effects of the BP oil spill. The new class action settlement, initiated in June and finalized December, 2012, has fundamentally changed who qualifies for economic relief, and how companies are evaluated and compensated for economic losses. This Settlement Program lays out very specific formulas to ensure only those that were harmed are compensated.

Start Now to Prepare to Sell Your Business This Year | Entrepreneur.com



"Are you looking to sell your business this year?

If so, here’s some good and bad news.

First, the bad news. If you’re looking to sell right away, you probably won’t get full value, as it takes a good year of preparation to sell before you actually put your company on the market.

The good news? A lot of businesses have changed hands in the past several years, and there’s a fair amount of money sitting on the sidelines looking for good deals.

Plus, if you actually take the time to prepare your company for a sale, you’ll more than likely jump to the top of a buyers’ short list, simply because most sellers don’t do the proper “prep work” to make the sales process easy and transparent.

So how can you best set yourself up to win when you sell your company? Here are some tips to get you headed in the right direction to receive the best value for your company by the end of the year."
