Launching a business is an all-encompassing endeavor. There are so many things to think about, so many decisions to make that you worry about forgetting something along the way.

One aspect you should address is the possibility that you may face a lawsuit at some point. How should you prepare for the unexpected?

The following is just flatly true, as financial pundit and Kiplinger magazine contributor Neale Godfrey stresses in a recent article on so-called “gray divorce.”

Godfrey notes that relationships for an appreciable number of comparatively older married couples in the United States “get back-burnered to life.”

Connecticut craft brewing industry principals and state interest groups representing alcohol wholesalers, distributors and restaurant owners have been figuratively at each other’s throats since, well, forever.

It thus seems appropriate for a recent media piece to refer to a conclave earlier this year between agents of the two camps as an “unprecedented, even awkward meeting.” That article underscores the negotiating stalemates that have routinely stymied industry leaders seeking reforms “that would revamp Connecticut’s outdated, and often restrictive, liquor laws.”

Creative and forward-looking Connecticut small business owners are always thinking of ways to grow their enterprises and ensure future profitability.

That entrepreneurial vision sometimes guides thoughts toward consideration of a real estate purchase for company headquarters and hopeful expansion. That contemplated transaction can make great sense for select business principals, especially for long-time lessees who suddenly see compelling buyer possibilities in specific properties.
