Economic Headwinds: Starting a Business in Turbulent Economic Times

Your business will have them: the good seasons, and those that challenge you. It’s easy to get caught off guard when shifts happen unexpectedly… unless you plan ahead to minimize the risks.

As with seasons of the year, we group business seasons in four categories:

• Launch – Corporate structures, secretary of state filings, credit applications and guaranties.
• Growth – Written procedures and protective policies, customer/vendor contracts, trade secret policies, employment and red flag policies.
• Transition – mergers, acquisitions, investors, succession planning, asset and liability reconciliation, receivership, dissolution, and contracts.
• Challenge – collections, property disputes, civil litigation, mediation and arbitration, fraud claims, employment issues, non-compete, non-disclosure, and confidentiality documents.

At Hannah Sheridan & Cochran, LLP, we’re here to help give you an edge— to anticipate and be ready for every transition—with the insights, documents, and expertise you need to thrive through them all. We can:

• assess the policies, protections, and documents you currently have,
• identify where you may have exposure,
• and help secure any gaps.

Business seasons bring surprises. That’s why, year after year, we help our clients minimize those that carry an unnecessary risk—and make the most of opportunities. We’d love to help you do the same.
