What was that! 

Oh, that was 2020 and we’re sure glad it’s in the rearview mirror and that we can look forward to 2021 and maybe start to a better roaring 20s. 

Or can we? 

One thing we know is that privately held businesses are going to face challenges in 2021. 

  • Higher taxes 
  • More regulation 
  • Foreign trade uncertainty 
  • Pandemic issues

Those are certain as we change federal administrations and

the accompanying differences in the philosophical approach to business.    Carl E. Grimes
