Every year brings opportunities and challenges, and 2011 is likely to be no exception. Competitive pressures, economic woes, high rates of unemployment, difficult to obtain financing and slow economic growth are among the challenges that businesses face. In addition, state and federal legislation could add to these business challenges with higher taxes, piles of administrative burdens, more rigorous enforcement and collection activities.
During 2011, obstacles are likely to arise in a number of areas. Obtaining sound legal advice would be beneficial in handling these obstructions and it could lead to a successful year.
