standstill Hi
The business is not going well, it's like running to standstill.
--- What does "run to standstill" associate you with? Is it possible to say the same in a different way?

Teacher Re: standstill It's at a standstill
is how this is usually used.
It means that the business is not going forward or backwards in number of sales; no increase or decrease in business.
