I just hate it when small businesses fail.
That’s just another person who is facing a crushed dream.
But then, there are all the financial ramifications that got with that failed small business. One of my favorite local food spots just closed. And it was primarily due to the fact that they didn’t spend any money on the commercial HVAC. When your business is located this far south, it’s really wise to invest in good air conditioning before anything else. This place was sort of quaint and cute anyway. It sat right down on the river in a not too crowded spot. The dining room was great from November till about mid March because the doors were open to the river and the deck. But once the temperatures and the humidity start working their way up during the peak heating hours of the day, it’s time for air conditioning. Whatever commercial HVAC system was in that place was deeply overwhelmed. Even if they didn’t want to replace all the HVAC equipment, they could have added a ductless heat pump at least. But nothing and finally, people just stopped showing up. I hate this even more so because I too am a small business owner. And my fate can also be determined by the whims of the buying public. That’s why I make sure that I have all the fundamentals covered. Insurance, fair lease, well paid help and yes, really good commercial HVAC. I mean, I can’t imagine expecting customers to frequent my business if the air conditioning is just non-existent. Especially not in the Summer season.
