Economic effects of coronavirus

Contacts

Since the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus has been spreading worldwide at an enormous speed and poses considerable challenges for both individual companies and entire economies. Sectors such as tourism and gastronomy are already experiencing enormous sales losses. Companies dependent on supplies from abroad are confronted with disruptions in their supply chains. Everywhere there is a risk of staff losses due to illness or government-imposed quarantine measures.

Companies in Germany are also affected. Measures are required to protect their own workforce. Supply failures and disruptions in acceptance on the customer side must be countered. Consequential effects will arise in questions of financing up to and including accounting.

With our multidisciplinary approach, we can support you in mastering these challenges and proactively take measures to cushion the economic impact of the corona epidemic and integrate appropriate crisis management into the company's internal processes.
