Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Facing financial crisis is a common problem. Taking urgent action is key –but not panicking.  There are ways to recover your business. You have to face up to the situation and know how to turnaround a business. It is a difficult time to handle the constant pressure from creditors, but facing it and finally turning around the business needs a proper plan.

The first thing for turning around the business will be to curb the company expenses. It is important to keep track of all the expenses incurred by the company to redeem the position. Study the expenses and cut out the redundant ones and retain the essential ones. Next is to prepare a business plan. It is wise to take inputs from the employees while preparing a new business plan to redeem the company’s position and recover business. Cut down on your manpower. Make a list of employees you have to retain and let go of the others. However, do not lay off employees in waves because in that way the best employees will become concerned  as they do not want to be the ones laid off last.

As a part of management it is wise to discuss particular areas of your financial picture. In that way the employees feel valued and you will also gain the trust of the employees. This is extremely important because this trust helps in the time of crisis. Since you have the faith of your employees, you can convince them to work for you in stressful conditions as well. In the midst of a failing business and constant pressure from creditors you have to try and retain good relations with your suppliers. Try to alleviate their fears and convince them to keep the faith. It is important to convince them that you have a plan to fix the problem.

It is wise to be honest with your customers. Explain that you are in a financial crisis but you already have a plan up your sleeve. If possible extend a copy of your recovery plan to your suppliers to convince them that you will be out of this situation soon. Fresh sources of cash is a great way to redeem the situation. Factoring is  a good source of money to help as the process is quick and there is no  hassle for guarantees. Go through your list of customers and curtail the list to get rid of customers  not providing profits. Simply maintaining customers for prestige  does not help. Keeping a track of the money and using it properly and wisely is extremely important during the time of crisis. Encourage employees to think out of the box to redeem the business.
