Business in the Covid era<br />
Afterthinking it was ayear like no other<br />
last yearwith the first lockdown, we are all<br />
now reliving the impacts of our business<br />
beinglockeddown and whatthat means<br />
for us.<br />
Is thisthe new normal?<br />
Rather than trying to answer this by<br />
looking longinglyinto your crystal ball, it is<br />
afar better idea to plan as if it is, or at least<br />
that it is likelytohappen again.<br />
We cannot as businesspeoplecontinue<br />
to expect the government to solveour<br />
problems.<br />
Support packages will never be of a<br />
valuetosustain your business long term.<br />
So, whatdowedo?<br />
We needtouse the time available while<br />
we can trade in amore normal capacity, to<br />
plan how we can besttrade under the<br />
various lockdown situations.<br />
Or at least how we can minimise the<br />
“bleeding” or lossesthat we experience<br />
during those times.<br />
We hereatProsser Quirke realise that<br />
theseplans will be different for every<br />
business, but we also are very lucky to be<br />
in the position to be helping many<br />
businessesacrossabroad range of<br />
industries.<br />
We see what others are doing or<br />
planning, along withwhat has workedand<br />
what hasn’t, and we can use this<br />
knowledge to help make suggestions.<br />
As business owners, it is our choices that<br />
shape the future of our businesses.<br />
You can choose to planand prepare for<br />
further disruptions, or you canchoose to<br />
do nothing and be at the mercy of others<br />
makingdecisions.<br />
There is no doubt that further<br />
disruptionscould happen, and that they<br />
will be difficult. If you want to give yourself<br />
and your business the bestchance of<br />
getting through the difficulttimes, and you<br />
are having difficulty gettingstarted,or<br />
would like some help, give us acall. We<br />
love helping our clients as best we can.<br />
Take care and let’ssupport eachother<br />
locally wherever we can, we are all in this<br />
together.<br />
