San Luis Obispo Business Attorneys from Toews Law Group, Inc. Release Tips To Help Avoid Bankruptcy
–Avoiding bankruptcy requires strong fundamental business planning and practices especially at the beginning to establish a strong business foundation. The business attorneys from San Luis Obispo’s Toews Law Group, Inc., have prepared a list of tips to help business owners avoid some of the leading pitfalls that can lead to bankruptcy.
The top mistakes that can lead to bankruptcy are:
- Taking on too much debt to grow the business—When times are good and business is growing at a brisk pace. taking on debt to expand might not be the best solution. Refinancing current debt might not be the best solution, either.
- Lack of bookkeeping and other critical recordkeeping—Keeping detailed financial records, as well as employee records, inventories, sales and purchasing reports, provide a snapshot of the condition of a business at any point in time. Solid business management and growth requires accurate data.
- Overly optimistic management—Growing too fast without a solid foundation, investing in new projects, expanded hiring, and even taking on debt or business partners without thoroughly analyzing business goals and capacity can lead to financial shortfalls.
New businesses, growing businesses and businesses at any critical juncture can benefit from getting the correct answers for all matters from operating as a sole proprietorship or a corporation, record keeping for solid business practices, tax compliance and other regulatory compliance, appropriate insurance, financing and a range of critical business practices and strategies.

Anticipating the critical juncture
Solid planning based on solid data and practices is the smartest way to start and grow business.
