The impact of COVID-19 has hit hard, turning 'business as usual' into a foreign concept as business owners are now forced to evolve, transition, and in some cases reinvent themselves at a rapid rate to ensure their survival.

Preparation, planning, and strong leadership are crucial now more than ever to be the difference-maker between success and failure.  Tomorrow's business world will be anything but normal.  Every business needs a comprehensive playbook to navigate the types of changes we face today and transition into tomorrow's reimagined normal.

Citrin Cooperman’s Manufacturing and Distribution Practice is excited to announce the launch of our inaugural industry survey. The aim of this research is to take the pulse of manufacturing and distribution company leaders nationally in the moment – amid the COVID-19 pandemic – to measure the current health of their businesses and take stock of future priorities, concerns, and challenges.

This year, our annual industry-leading independent sponsor survey focused specifically on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on independent sponsors, their portfolio companies, and the overall M&A environment. We are pleased to share our Top 10 Findings with you.

How are you preparing your business to face these uncertain times?

With so many questions about what will happen in the broader economy, it's crucial to understand what your business needs to focus on now and what will make it strong enough to rebound.  To that end, we developed an assessment to help you think through what you should prioritize, and to provide you with expert advice on how to endure through what lies ahead.

This is a 15-minute assessment.  Within a day, you will receive a report on your responses, a list of your biggest priorities, how your responses compare to similar companies, and an offer for a consultation on the areas of most concern.

As we continue to push through the uncertainty surrounding what is becoming the “newer normal” with COVID-19, our thoughts remain with you, your families, and friends.

Preparation is oftentimes the difference between success and failure. As we come to the close of the first quarter of 2020, one thing is certain – now is the time to go back to basics and ensure we are as prepared as we can be to survive and thrive in any outcome.

The partners and professionals at Citrin Cooperman are trained to help. To that end, we have constructed the COVID-19 Response Unit for you to leverage as a resource center. Click here to enter.
