When a recession hits, many companies face the prospect of declining revenues and profits. But some businesses perform well even when economic times are tough. These recession-proof businesses typically provide essential services, such as healthcare, or sell vital goods, like food. People need to buy these goods and services in good times and in bad. Recession-proof industries may not grow fast when the economy is booming, but they tend to outperform others when recessions occur.
It’s a futile guessing game to try to predict where the market will go next, but we’re helping CFOs to prepare for any number of “what ifs” by doing things like developing tiered forecasts and tracking metrics that reflect reality now.
Will there or won’t there be one? When it comes to a downturn, our crystal ball is broken. But we do know that smart CFOs are hedging via moves like:
- Baking customer and supplier health into cash flow calculations
- Developing tiered forecasts with corresponding cuts
- Tracking the metrics that reflect reality now
