If the song remains the same, which professional service providers do you think are going to take the biggest hits? Let’s see:
1) Attorneys: gotta have them to get the deal done, but the smaller firms are getting the deals now that attorneys can’t logically get business at $1k an hour.
2) Accountants: same as above unless you want the SEC and IRS breathing down your neck
3) Consultants: maybe. I’d say 75% of entrepreneurs are relying less upon strategic advisors than they were a year ago. You don’t need to pay $25,000 to figure out the whole consumer purchasing industry sucks
