Nov 16, 2009 - "Stress Testing" the Family or Closely Held Construction Company Webinar

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 24:00:00 EST

"Stress tests" for financial institutions have been all over the news this year. They determine if financial institutions have enough capital to withstand the recession and other marketplace turmoil. Family or closely held business (CHB) stress tests work much the same way. Their purpose is to look forward in time to see if a construction company can stay afloat during difficult times or in periods of rapid change. 2010 promises to be a challenging year for most contractors. Stress testing a new concept for family and closely held construction firms can help answer questions like: What actions do we need to take in order to sustain the company - or even turn things around? How can we predict the effects of our decisions on various areas of the company? Will I be able to maintain my lifestyle or even cash out of the company as we had dreamed? Stress testing is designed to help tell construction executives where to go next versus typical financial accounting which tells you only where you've been.
