I am LOVING the sister-in-law dynamic between Eri and Miorine in the epilogue, and I can't imagine how many times they've had this weird ass conversation.

"Why are we doing this new and crazy thing that your wife, my sister, planned this week?"

"HOW ARE YOU EVEN FUCKING REAL AND ALIVE RIGHT NOW?!"

So @sillyamyy sent me a YouTube link and it was pure Eric Singer gold.

Sorry, I mean

Lil’ Elvis gold.

(Even though it’s a shitty connection. No wonder he bought a new router.)

Don’t let Lil’ Elvis get bored. He will find better things to do.

Like lighting incense and cuddling Ash. (Playing with fire, @elrohare. Blow it and wait til it gets hard.)

He will get impatient and possibly look at the clock?

He’ll….i dunno, do whatever this is.

He’s yawning, pay him some attention!

He may get vaguely threatening with a screwdriver.

He’ll make sure we notice that, yet again, his nipples are erect.

He, for some reason, has decided to sit on the floor.

They had him sit in this video for half an hour and he said maybe ten words. But I think it was a lot more entertaining be bored than if he’d actually talked more.

I’m enjoying ‘my sweetest downfall’ so much! Thank you so much for writing it :)

I wanted to submit the prompts:

Miorine sees Suletta interacting with the kids one day and suddenly thinks ‘suletta would make a great mom’ and is shocked to realize that she wouldn’t mind having kids with her.

Or

Erict teasing Miorine about how she can never say no to Suletta and that she spoils her too much!

Thank you and have a great week! Truly appreciate your fics and love the way you write their relationship 🥹

thank you so much! here is a lil something for you :)

my sweetest downfall - chapter 4

“I can’t believe you bought a puppy company!”

Suletta looks eagerly out the window, watching the blur of trees as their car flies past. She’s hardly able to contain herself, nearly vibrating out of her seat.

“We invested in a service dog training program,” Miorine corrects half-heartedly, smiling. She knew when the company’s CEO had invited her for a walkthrough she’d have no choice but to bring Suletta. There was simply no question.

“Puppies,” says Suletta again, definitively.

Miorine laughs. “Yes, yes. Puppies. Try not to have a stroke.”

Suletta rests her head on Miorine’s shoulder. Miorine softens.

—

The building isn’t particularly large.

“This is where the dogs sleep,” their tour guide, Sarah, says. “They live here in the facility until their training is complete and they’re ready to be adopted out.”

The kennels are noticeably empty. Before Miorine can inquire, Suletta speaks up from her wheelchair.

“Where are they now?” she asks.

Sarah gets a twinkle in her eye. “Well, you two are actually just in time for play-time.”

Miorine fears Suletta might burst at the seams with excitement.

Sarah leads them to a big, open area. There are toys, several employees, and at least ten puppies of varying breeds. They frolic about the space, wrestling with each other or playing with the trainers.

Suletta is in heaven.

She quickly transfers herself from her chair to the floor so she can accept cuddles from a labrador.

“Sooooo cute!” she squeaks as the pup climbs up her front and begins to lick her face.

Miorine laughs before turning to Sarah. “She’ll likely be here a while. Care to show me the rest?”

Sarah shows her the grooming area that Gund-ARM’s funds helped pay for, as well as the penned-in outdoor area for the dogs to play and do their business.

“We plan to do more landscaping out here,” Sarah says. “Your generous investment has really helped us along.”

“I’m glad,” Miorine says honestly. She knows this program will help a lot of people, which is why she’d invested.

They stand there in silence for a moment, just taking in the afternoon air.

“Well,” says Sarah, “shall we head back? Make sure your fiancé hasn’t been smothered by puppies?”

Miorine laughs. She feels her face heat at the word “fiancé,” and she thinks she may never get used to it. It fills her with a rush of joy, every time, without fail.

When they return, Suletta is back in her wheelchair, and she has a very fluffy white puppy in her lap. Both of them are sleeping.

“Oh my goodness,” Sarah says.

“Please tell me that one hasn’t been promised to anyone yet,” Miorine says desperately.

Sarah looks surprised, then delighted. “No she hasn’t, not yet.”

“Excellent. We’ll take her. When she’s done with her training, of course. But please… don’t say anything to Suletta. I want it to be a surprise.”

Miorine had absolutely not come here with the intentions of adopting a dog, but the sight before her has her realizing that it makes perfect sense. A service dog could be very helpful for Suletta, and she could also use the companionship.

“Of course, Miss Rembran. I’ll get all the paperwork squared away. Did you have a name in mind?”

Miorine looks at her. “Sorry?”

“A name,” Sarah says. “It’s easier to assign one as soon as possible instead of trying to teach them a new one later.”

“Oh… Give me some time to think about it?”

“Of course. I’ll go get things started for you.” Sarah excuses herself.

“You spoil her.” Ericht’s tinny voice comes out of nowhere. She’d been so silent the whole trip Miorine had forgotten the keychain was clipped to her bag.

“Excuse me?” Miorine grumbles.

“I’m just saying! You can’t say no to her.” Her voice is teasing. She’s working up to saying Miorine is whipped.

“First of all, I’m not saying ‘yes’ to anything. It was my idea. Second of all, your sister deserves to be spoiled.”

Ericht can’t argue with that, so she doesn’t.

Once all the paperwork has been signed, Miorine kneels in front of Suletta and her new furry friend.

“Hey, sleepyhead,” she says softly, running a hand through Suletta’s hair. “Quit being so lazy. It’s time to go.”

Suletta only seems to wake partway, eyes still glassy with exhaustion. She has very limited energy, these days - she’ll likely sleep until tomorrow once they get home.

“We can visit her again?” she murmurs as Miorine gently extracts the still-sleeping pup from her lap and hands her over to an employee.

It takes everything in Miorine not to spill her secret right here and now.

“Yes,” she says. “You can definitely see her again.”

Later, as Suletta predictably dozes beside her on the bed, Miorine types an email to Sarah.

Dear Sarah,

I believe the name “Aerial” will be suitable for the dog.

Thank you for your help today.

Miorine Rembran

Gund-ARM Co. CEO

“That feels offensive,” Ericht pipes up.

“Stop spying on my emails.”

Whenever I wake up up to a bunch of Eric photos I almost hyperventilate.

Thank you, @sillyamyy. You are such a good Ericrack dealer!

Business Growth and Exit Specialists (BGES) response to coronavirus – COVID-19

It is never too early to start thinking about your desired business exit outcomes, including who might buy your business for the highest value.

Whilst you may not know for sure who is going to buy your business you will gain a great advantage from considering what features appeal to strategic buyers who can give you a premium price.

Developing the right business exit strategy and actions to improve the appeal and value for those strategic buyers and being exit ready is critical in gaining the best possible outcomes.

An attractive, customised Information Memorandum for targeted strategic buyers, matched with supporting documents and facts are essential.

Your strategic buyer might be an individual buyer; including management and staff, a corporate buyer (including your competitors or listed companies) or an investor (domestic and overseas).

With so many aspects to consider it is wise to plan ahead to achieve your desired outcomes. Although you would like to think that you can retire at a time of your choosing and obtain the value you wish, unexpected occurrences including illnesses or injuries can occur at times you do not anticipate, and insufficient planning can mean that you will obtain a business value much less than you anticipated, the worst case still – you are not able to sell your business and there is no successor.

I would like to share some of the thoughts of our experienced colleagues’ below. If you are interested in attending our upcoming webinar about this topic please email us at: erict@bges.co and we will send you an invitation accordingly.

Sales/Marketing and IP considerations for a Strategic business Exit

When considering your strategic exit for the business you should be visualising who you are going to sell it to, then set the business up for the new owner.

Is it to be sold as a going concern and in its current business model?

Would it be more appealing to a wider market of investors if the model was slightly different?

Is there any Intellectual Property (IP) ? Could be trademarks, website, customer data base, trade secrets or just your special herbs and spices recipe. Methods of operation or processes can also be valuable IP to others – it doesn’t just have to be about Patents and Design registrations.

The customer base should also be considered, what and who you consider as a valuable client as an ongoing business may actually be the opposite for the company that may well buy your business.

Are the sales heavily dependent on a particular staff member or worse still the owner? A business that is all about the current owner, is a risky business for the new owner.

Sales and Marketing and IP decisions can dramatically impact on the value of a business, so make sure you start to think about this – well before you want to sell. Allow enough time to alter the aspects that are needed to be, so as optimise the offering and therefore the business value to the right potential buyer.

How CRM can improve the value of your business

Businesses can use customer relationship management (CRM) technology to improve the value of their enterprise during an exit. Suppose you are planning on selling your business. In that case, it is essential to work with a CRM driven company that will allow you access to the information you need before getting in front of potential buyers or investors with an exit strategy. While Sage’s survey shows that few people are using customer relationship management (CRM) software to support their exit, succession or transition strategies from an SMB to a larger company — e-Commerce Times note “that proves how little marketers understand about CRM’s true power.”

Using a CRM system may help business to create multiple reports like retention rate, sales cycle as well as lead to customers ratio etc  that a new company may want to see before deciding to buy the company.

Overseas Strategic Buyers

Pursuing an offshore buyer for your business can be worthwhile when your business is the right size and strategically aligned with the buyers’ appeal.

One of the most sought-after traits of a business for offshores purchasers is that they want to be able to walk into a business that runs like a well-oiled machine with a good financial track record. Another goal is that their investment will allow them to eventually gain permanent residency for themselves and possibly their family.

To enter Australia on a temporary business visa specifically to establish a business, the overseas investor must prove they want to invest at least $2.5 million dollars from 1 July 2021, and they will require a Business Innovation and Investment stream visa. This is where a migration lawyer can assist with their visa application for the purpose of buying/investing in a qualifying Australian business as the regulations are ever-changing in this area.

The business will need to plan and communicate the availability of the business for sale well ahead, often with the help of a solicitor, a business advisor and an accountant for the business to be sales-ready, as the visa application process might take time for it to be granted.

Taxation considerations and structuring prior to sale

Ensuring your business structure is optimal at the time of sale can have a significant impact on the tax outcomes of the sale transaction.

The transaction may be a disposal of your shareholding or a sale of the business assets. A share sale will be subject to greater due diligence as the buyer is taking on the entity history, positive and negative, and may have greater risk.  In the case of a share sale it will be critical to review the balance sheet and ensure personal loans and assets are cleared, and property transferred if not subject to the sale. A business sale is often simpler, but the gain is made by the business entity, not the shareholder, which can have different tax outcomes in terms of accessing the proceeds.

The Small Business CGT taxation concessions allow eligible business owners access to various tax concessions which can in certain cases, reduce the capital gains tax to zero if certain conditions are met. Early review with your tax adviser may increase your opportunity to avail these concessions and structure your affairs to meet the eligibility requirements.

In summary, having a well-considered plan and vision for your exit, and seeking specialist advice, will enable you to realise the maximum value for your business.

Legal issues in business succession

For a small business person, business succession can occur at any time. Most of us would like to think that we can retire at a time of our choosing when everything is in order.

Death, incapacitating illness or injury, even relationship breakup can occur at times you do not anticipate effecting what happens to your business.

When business succession occurs, it should maximise the benefit for yourself or your estate from something you have committed time and resources into building.

For short term absences from your business a Power of Attorney is necessary so a person of your choice can step in to manage when you cannot. If you are the sole director/shareholder then the company needs, its own power of attorney so there is an authorised officer of the company to act on its behalf.

For long term you need a valid, up to date will nominating an Executor(s) who has the capacity to deal with business issues and protect company or personal assets for the benefit of the Estate.

If you are in a partnership or a shareholder with others in a company; a partnership or shareholders agreement should be in place to set out how to deal with the death or disability of one of their number.

Planned succession looks at what you would like to do, when you would like to do it and whom to benefit but if time is taken away the other two aims should be achieved. This involves preparing your business and your personal affairs to achieve that outcome.

Of course I noticed, I'm the one who wrote it into the TV Tropes Page

OK BUT DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE AERIAL HAS A MANICURE

[amalgamasreal]

About Prospera/Elnora...

One interesting thing I noticed in Episode 18 is that we actually see Elnora acting truly motherly to Suletta in the episode:

That's not Eri, that's Suletta as a child, but it made me realize something: she still LOOKS like exactly Eri did before she died here. It makes me wonder if all the love she got from Prospera in her childhood stemmed from being a literal clone of the daughter she'd lost. But once Suletta started aging past this point and started looking more like a darker skinned version of Prospera in her youth:

That it really hit home that Suletta IS NOT Eri to Elnora/Prospera and that made it easier for her to distance herself and focus more on Aerial, where Erict's soul actually resides.

Or I could just be going too far into the weeds.
