COVID-19 Resources for Small Business Owners

In this article we will give you our best listing of COVID-19 resources for small business owners. Many entrepreneurs have seen a complete disruption in business. Revenues have come to a complete halt for so many. Having commercial insurance in place helps to reduce any financial losses to your business when an unfortunate event occurs. It does not have to be the end of the world.

The government recently approved a historic $2 Trillion Stimulus package with many options for small business owners. The package included a lot of relief to help entrepreneurs to keep the lights on. If you are a veteran and you have a small business, the government entitles you to an sdvosb, a small business that is 51% unconditionally owned and controlled by a service-disabled veteran.  This post has some useful links that could help you during this difficult time.
