Every business will be short a key staff person
sooner or later. Sometimes the owner will be unable to continue with daily
activities for a short period. Worse yet, an owner may be completely
unavailable due to accidents, illness or even by lenders' demands. And not
every business can afford to have a manager on staff ready to take over.
Finding a permanent replacement takes time. Time
that most businesses don't have. Customers, employees, suppliers and
bankers won't wait. You need someone right now!
Planning ahead for possible emergencies is smart.
Should something actually happen, you are ready to go into action and
recover quickly. You bought fire, liability and business interruption
insurance just in case, right?
But have you planned for the loss of a key
employee?
Have you planned ahead in case something happens to
you? What will happen to your family if you are not able to run your
business. Will the business close or go bankrupt? Do you want your family
to keep running the business or to sell it as a going concern? All those
decisions may be in your will, but that won't keep the doors open.
Certainly your lawyer or accountant can help. They
are somewhat familiar with your business. But do they really have the time
to fully handle all your business' activity? Sometimes they might. Can
your business really afford a fulltime attorney's fees for very long?
Perhaps these professionals are better employed in overseeing that your
business is being run properly, rather than running it every day
themselves.
John Rust is available to immediately fill the gap
and help you keep business rolling along. John's diverse background and
ability to quickly adapt will let you carry on without losing customers,
key employees or banking relationships. Then, you, your family and
advisors can work on a longer term solution if the need continues.
