Is your business adequately protected?
Federal Government statistics show that of all businesses involved in a major loss - 43% never trade again and 28% fail over the next 3 years. This statistic means only 29% survive and 71% disappear.
The effect on a business
Not only do 71% of businesses disappear, but the closure of the business can also impact on the owners being unable to maintain cash flow to meet on-going personal expenses such as the ability to service debt (ie Mortgages, Vehicles) and school fees.
The end result
In the short term – No net profit
In the long term – Loss of markets and potential business failure
