What’s Happening to Your Company?

/in /by

We’re all dealing with a lot of uncertainties as the coronavirus pandemic continues. As a business owner, you’re probably asking yourself questions like these: Am I a critical business? Do I qualify for bailout money? Should I stay open? What happens to my employees?

Additionally, you’re dealing with issues such as customers canceling, no backlog, suppliers on holiday, scared employees, and perhaps avoiding your bank. No one knows how long this is going to last — but you need help, and you need it fast.

What should you do?

A recent Inc.article recommends six actions to take in light of this crisis:

  • Vigorously control what you can. Vigorously ignore what you can’t control.
  • Guard employee morale.
  • Preserve cash where you can.
  • Be first in line (for loans or bailouts).
  • Get back to basics — starting with monomaniacal customer service.
  • Pivot your product or service to new conditions.

All of these have merit — but the best course of action is to find solutions designed specifically for your business. That’s where we come in.
