In this ongoing series of articles we have explored indicators that may give clues as to whether your business is insolvent. Here we take a look at management issues. Take a look at your behaviour and see if these are aspects of your management.
Lets start off with the simple matters. Do you actually have a business plan? If not how do you expect to manage the business going forward.
Do you have management meetings so that you are aware of what each department is doing as against target?
Is it in fact just you running the business? Do you not trust anyone else to make decisions? Maybe it is your lack of decision making that is stifeling the business.
Is your management data accurate and up to date? Does your management understand their data and know how to use it to take the company forward? Do you actually have any data? What are your debtors, how much do you owe your creditors?
When you have a problem do you drop all other concerns and fire fight the problem before you. Will you complete that task or will you simply move on to another problem?
Who is to blame for your situation? Your accountant, your lawyer, your sales team, your credit control, your production staff, YOU!
Be honest with yourself here. Are you up to the job? Maybe you are just a victim of circumstance here and that it really is the credit crunch and recession that is dragging the business down.
If that is the case, you need to address those problems and seek professional help to allow you to best surmount those problems.
