Food
Rules
Although restaurant dining is returning and slowly expanding,
many independent eateries and even some chains will not reopen. This
visualization of the top 50
fast food chains gives a current look at survivors. As you consider dining out,
skip Mondays at chain
restaurants; and, perhaps, only think about Subway if you want a ham
and cake sandwich.

Consider
Alternatives to Bankruptcy
By year’s end, the retail sector may experience
more bankruptcies and closures than ever in a single year. Sometimes a change
in leadership is the answer. More frequently, closures and bankruptcies are the way
the problems of a troubled business are resolved. In the long run, a
receivership or general liquidation may be a better alternative for you and
parties in interest.
Asterion’s experts have decades of experience in
resolving the problems of troubled businesses. If your business is facing
uncertainty, you may want to contact Asterion for assistance.
Healthcare Compliance Matters
In uncertain times, healthcare compliance can become more
difficult; but it never ceases to be important. Failure to adhere to proper
controls can be costly. After a hack, a Georgia medical practice recently paid $1.5 million to
settle potential HIPAA violations.
If you are facing healthcare compliance issues, the
experts at Asterion are available to assist you.
FYI
The U.S. Supreme Court is back in session. Seven new cases were added

the possibility of changes to media
ownership rules.
