You probably don't need me to tell you that times are tough right now. To some degree or another, you're seeing it in your own life. Whether it's the price of eggs, the price of heating your home this winter, or something else entirely. Living is expensive.
Companies still aren't people as we start off 2025. But in a weird way, it's still kind of understandable that LiveWire moved back in with parent company Harley-Davidson in 2024. Because stuff, it is expensive, and it doesn't look to be getting any cheaper any time soon.
In that vein, LiveWire appears to be drawing in even closer to Harley-Davidson's warmth to kick off the New Year. In a new filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the American EV motorcycle maker spells out in great detail the terms of a new agreement it's just put into place with its parent company.
Put simply, it is 'outsourcing' a massive number of business functions back to Harley-Davidson, for which it will pay its parent a monthly fee. Is that like the business version of when your parents ask you to pay rent?
