By developing a new strategy, you can build the plan that’s going to be successful for the business in the short term and longer term, and generate the kind of cash flows you need to support the organization’s cost structure.
Tip 4: Regain Stability
Once you have a better understanding of your business and how it operates and its financial strategy, you can plan the next steps to regain financial stability, including taxes and debt restructuring.
