After a disaster, will you get your business back in operation?

Seven years after Superstorm Sandy, autumn weather continues to cause a surprising amount of damage. From Dallas, TX to Delaware County, tornados have torn up homes and interrupted business operations. Meanwhile, California is burning, threatening wineries and museums, as well as countless homes and smaller business. Returning to anything close to normal requires perseverance and resilience.

If your business has suffered an interruption, Asterion’s staff has the experience to assist you to document your loss claims. 

The Reckoning Continues
 
Destination Maternity has filed for Chapter 11 protection, and Dress Barn is closing all its’ stores, maintaining only an online presence. The sports industry is not immune from this kind of shake out. Just a few months after the American Alliance of Football ceased operations, the Arena Football League is now shutting down teams, including the Philadelphia Soul. 

Companies that downsize or close often require receivership and liquidation services. If you need assistance to wind down a business, contact the professionals at Asterion for help.
