Will you win the battle but lose the war?

Thirty years ago, one of our mentors taught us that one of the basic rules when a deal goes bad is this: “Your first loss is your best loss.” The $100 million dollar litigation unfolding over a $46,000 missed interest payment by the purchasers of Forbes Media may be the exception to that rule. Perhaps it would have been wiser to consider the last step in litigation before taking the first.

Whether you are evaluating the options for resolving a business dispute or actively litigating a matter that requires expert financial advice, let Asterion’s experienced financial experts help you bring your case to a satisfactory conclusion.

Is the box worth more than the contents?

The changing habits of shoppers are shifting the value of some retail chains to their real estate holdings rather than the merchandise they purvey. For example, Macy’s is considering other uses for some floors in its flagship buildings in various city markets, not unlike the repurposing of Philadelphia’s Wanamaker building. New uses for vacant malls and underutilized suburban industrial parks may be necessary as changing demographics shift where people choose to work and live.

If your business needs to reconsider the value of its assets to meet changing market forces, consider working with Asterion’s seasoned staff of valuation experts.

On the Lighter Side: Do as we say, not as we do.
