Developing a Turnaround Plan
But if you develop a strong turnaround plan in advance, you can forecast many of the problems you will encounter during non-peak seasons and thus ensure a smoother flow of business throughout the year. Always be honest and communicate regularly with your creditors. Anticipate cash-flow problems early and secure adequate funding well ahead of time. Reduce expenses and manage your cash at hand. These tips will go a long way in helping you to turn your business around!
