Use every tool to stabilize your business
The financial impacts of Covid-19 are rippling through the
economy. Retailers at every price point, from Neiman Marcus and J. Crew to J.C. Penney have filed for
Chapter 11 protection. Some deals no longer make sense, like Jefferson
Hospital’s purchase of Temple’s Fox
Chase Cancer Center or the Carlyle Group and GIC acquisition of an interest
in American Express Global Business Travel. At the same time, opportunities for
new deals are emerging. KKR is diversifying, buying Coty’s
beauty brands, as well as an interest in Slice, a pizza delivery
platform. Uber has offered to acquire GrubHub.
Everything is on the table as businesses search for
stability and ongoing viability. If you need assistance to evaluate financial
options for your business, Asterion can help.
