A Smaller Scale for Smaller Businesses ...

The cost of dealing with smaller crises of smaller businesses is lower, because the options are usually more obvious, No matter the scale, if you pass the tipping point, the only real cure maybe bankruptcy.

On a smaller scale...

Although your point is made on the need for retention of a good, reputable attorney who knows what he/she is doing, and the importance of initial funds to help businesses in crisis, but what about smaller businesses? Are there any steps that you can suggest for smaller businesses that would not have that type of capital available? I know, bigger company, bigger problems ? but small businesses can have need of guidance in these situations as well. Or, is it just a given outcome that a small business in crisis should just shut the doors?

You can still do handshakes ...

Handshakes still work when used with close friends on deals under $ 1,000.

Eating the Pain ...

Stress in business must be managed much like stress in any other context. You find what works for you and you do it.

The Exit Strategy ...

Being in the mortgage business I work with quite a few investors and am very familiar with that term. Whenever talking about a new deal they have drummed up, the question they always ask is, "What's my exit strategy?" The days of the handshake are long gone. My grandfather used to do business that way and would always tell me to do business on a handshake. He would be eaten alive in today's world. Litigation seems to run rampant today and the worst part is that it works quite often for those that abuse the system, i.e. the McDonald's hot coffee incident just to name one. Your advice is great; you should always make sure there is an exit strategy in your contract in case things don't work out. You can never be to trusting anymore or take someone for their word. But if you end up in this situation, do you think litigation is the way to go, or should someone start with mediation first? Or do you feel mediation is not worth trying? Oh, and by the way, welcome to AllBusiness!
