A Dozen Avalanches That Threaten Small Business

The business threats no entrepreneur expects until one of them hits.

Building a successful company requires more than generating sales and increasing revenue. Some of the greatest threats to a business can arrive without warning and have very little to do with the product or service the company sells.

In A Dozen Avalanches That Threaten Small Business, Darlene M. Ziebell draws from more than 30 years of building and running businesses to examine the unexpected events that can threaten even successful companies.

From lawsuits and fraud to banking problems, chargebacks, employee issues, online attacks, and other unexpected crises, Darlene shares what can happen when circumstances outside an owner's business plan suddenly become the business's biggest problem.
