Most mornings on our morning walk Kara and I pass a neighbor’s house with a panel truck parked in the driveway. The panel truck is emblazoned with messages indicating they are in the industrial cleaning business. In Illinois at least such businesses are considered “essential” and, consequently, they’re still hard at work.
This morning when we passed the truck I asked the neighbor a question. From a discreet distance, of course. How’s business? I found his response interesting.
He said that he’s both losing and gaining business. He does do biological decontamination. Small customers aren’t doing what they had done before; big ones are doing more. His greatest uncertainty is whether his customers will actually pay him.
I suspect a lot of companies (including my employer) are wondering the same thing.
“His greatest uncertainty is whether his customers will actually pay.”
That would be a bingo. Disrupt the WC asset conversion cycle and it all grinds into a congealed mess.
