Stress-testing your single most valuable asset, your business, is a critical process
During a stress test of your current business planning, we analyze the potential impact of real-world events such as litigation; impacts of new tax laws, personnel changes; provisions in shareholder and operating agreements; ownership, retirement, and disability plans and employee practices liabilities. Will your business plan respond accordingly? We can help you identify the gaps and help you close them so you can work towards your desired outcome. During a stress test, we focus on using failure to refine, refocus, and re-engage with success.
