Unpleasant stuff happens. People lose businesses, they lose money and sometimes they're hit by comments from aggrieved staff and suppliers. If you're lucky it all happens in private.

Rachel Elnaugh has spoken to The Guardian's new Business Sense supplement - an evolution of the Business Solutions supplement - which will be in tomorrow's issue (dated 29 September).
