With the busy season upon us, the last thing anyone wants to think about is the off-season. But like it or not, now is the best time to take the necessary steps to start making your winter business pull its weight.
If you're like most companies with a definite off-season, you have to scramble every year to pay fixed costs (rent, insurance, utilities, truck payments and the like) and variable costs (salaries, insurance). Most companies go through this boom-and-bust cycle because they don't know what to do with employees, benefits and insurance during their off-season period.
