But there are some sticking points in the deal, including one that should be familiar to skiers in Vail’s namesake resort: parking, and the balance between municipal parking services and resort-supplied options.“What will ultimately decide this deal is whether Vail Resorts wants to take over the Crans Montana parking lots owned by Radovan Vitek,” according to one interpretation of the deal provided by Unofficial Networks. “The problem with these parking stru...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:30:52 GMT

By LAURIE KELLMAN, DANICA KIRKA, JOCELYN NOVECK AND LORI HINNANT (Associated Press)LONDON (AP) — The families of Israel’s dead are holding funerals and mourning in the wake of Hamas’ deadly rampage. The loved ones of people thought to have been taken hostage are demanding the captives’ release. But nearly two weeks after the worst civilian massacre in Israel’s history, the families of the missing are wandering through a landscape of pain and numbness with no clear horizon and few, if any answers. The not-knowing, they say, plunges them into cycles of sorrow and hope. “I don’t know what will be,” said Rachel Goldberg, whose 23-year-old son, Hersh Goldberg-Polin was last seen being loaded into a pickup with other hostages abducted by the Hamas militants from the Tribe of Nova music festival. Witnesses said he lost part of an arm in a grenade attack. “So in the meantime, I just keep walking through hell, because if I stop, then ...

Unlocking Employee Ownership: Sharevance Redefining Small Business Exits

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:30:52 GMT

Small business owners are entrepreneurs who excel at establishing and running their operations. But despite their dedication to creating company value, exit planning often takes a back seat.Many business owners automatically look for an external buyer, but the current small business buyer system is insufficient. Eighty percent of listed businesses do not sell. What if the best potential buyers are being overlooked? These buyers are already experts and invested: current employees.Enter Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs).ESOPs provide a flexible means of profitably selling a business and rewarding employees. But they’re often underutilized or misunderstood. A lack of awareness, the complexities of ESOP implementation, and the perception that ESOPs are mainly for large corporations have contributed to this problem.
