Squared. Essential Guide for New Businesses in UKmondayfriday
Before Starting Up
Many people dream of running their own business.
In recent years this has become a reality for some who have been made redundant.
Others may decide to start their own business
in search of independence, to work for themselves
and be rewarded for their efforts financially.
Whatever the reason for considering setting up
in business, a number of challenges exist.
Despite considerable effort and financing which
may be poured into a venture, there is always a
risk of business failure.
Before you start your business, take some time spent to think through your plans as
this will minimise the risk of failure.
Think about the possible downfalls of being
self-employed. Certainty of income, both in
terms of quantity and regularity, disappears,
whilst fixed outgoings, such as mortgage
repayments, remain. Consider the loss of other
company benefits such as life assurance cover,
a company pension, medical insurance, a company
car, regular hours and holidays.
Consider the views of your family and friends.
Their support is essential. It is important they
understand that the administrative and financial
requirements of running a business can be time
consuming and stressful.
Success in business depends on many factors;
most importantly you need to critically review all
aspects of the business proposition before
progressing too far.

Corporations
This week we will discuss business entities. We will begin with an analysis of the corporation, which is the most significant business form.
To start, corporations can be classified in various ways. A corporation is called a domestic corporation in its own state. If the corporation is formed in one state but doing business in another, it is referred to as a foreign corporation in the other state. A corporation formed in another country is an alien corporation. Corporations may be either public or private. Public corporations are formed by the government. You are likely most familiar with private corporations that are created for a private benefit. Corporations can also be formed as non-profits. This is done because the corporate forms have many advantages (discussed later) even for entities that do not have a profit-seeking motive. Corporations may be closely held. In these corporations, shares are held by few people (and there may be significant restrictions in transferring shares and in protecting the rights of minority shareholders). Finally, there are so-called S-Corporations. These are named after a section of the Internal Revenue Code to avoid the imposition of income taxes at the corporate level.
Although the requirements for forming a corporation differ in the particulars from state to state, these procedures are roughly similar in broad strokes. States will require articles of incorporation that include basic information about the corporation, such as name, purpose, duration, capital structure etc. These will serve as the primary source of authority for its future organization and business functions. Once these article are prepared, signed and filed with the secretary of state (with any required filing fees), the secretary will issue a certificate of incorporation that serves as the corporation’s authorization to conduct business. Once this is done, an organizational meeting will be held. There the board will be elected, bylaws are passed and stock will be issued.
Once the corporation is formed, there are various rules governing the management of the corporation. Normally, the management of the corporation is done by directors and officers. The articles of incorporation determines the number of directors and the manner in which they conduct business. Majority rules on most boards of directors, and the directors are responsible for the declaration of dividends, authorizing major corporate policies, and supervising corporate officers. Officers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the corporation. Ordinarily, they are appointed by the board.
The directors and officers of a corporation owe various fiduciaries duties. As fiduciaries, they are obligated to meet the duty of care. This duty obligates them to be honest and use prudent business judgment in the conduct of corporate affairs. This standard is objective: they must use the degree of care that reasonably prudent people use in the conduct of.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. What is a Private
Limited Company?
A private limited company is where between
one and ninety nine people come together and
form a business
The owners are called shareholders and they
invest money in the company
The profit is divided up among the shareholders
and distributed in the form of dividends
“Ltd.” is written after the name of the company
The annual accounts are sent to the Registrar
of Companies. They are not published
3. Advantages of a Private
Limited Company
Shareholders have limited liability
Extra capital is available to fund
expansion of the business
Continuity of existence
4. Disadvantages of a
Private Limited Company
Costly to set up
A lot of legal requirements when forming
a company

7. Forming a Private
Limited Company
You need 1 – 99 people who invest money
and are shareholders
The people involved in forming a company
are called the promoters
The promoters employ:
An accountant – for financial advice
A solicitor – to prepare the legal documents which
must be sent to the Companies Registration Office
(CRO)
8. What documents must
be filled out?
Memorandum of Association – sets out the relationship
of the company to the general public, i.e. rules and
regulations governing how the company deals with the
public
Articles of Association – sets out the internal rules and
regulations of the company, e.g. shareholders voting
rights, how directors are elected, powers and duties of
the directors
Form A1 – sets out the details of the company, it’s
directors and their signatures (Declaration of
Compliance with the Companies Acts 1963 – 1990)
9. These documents are sent to the Registrar of
Companies
The Registrar will check to see if they are all
in order
If so, a Certificate of Incorporation is issued
This is the birth certificate of a company
It has a separate legal existence from its owners
The shareholders have limited liability
The company can sue and be sued in its own
name
11. Board of Directors
When the company is incorporated it
will hold a meeting of its shareholders
who elect a board of directors to run the
company on a day-to-day basis
They report to the shareholders
annually on the performance of the
company at the Annual General Meeting
(AGM)
12. Summary
What is a private limited company?
How do you know if a business is a private
limited company?
Can you list three advantages and three
disadvantages of operating as a private limited
company?
What documents are needed to form a private
limited company?
What is the certificate of incorporation?
What do the board of directors do?
What is an AGM?
