This November Zoom panel discussion provides perspectives and advice from three experts who collectively have been there/done this 100+times. A few of the many key takeaways include:
- Be transparent with creditors, vendors and employees in that order.
- Do a liquidation analysis to understand what you would walk away from, and with, should an orderly liquidation occur.
- Develop a new business plan that’s honest about what’s working and what has to change.
- Combine this with a rolling 13-week cash flow analysis.
Panelists are:
