Nearly all businesses have been touched by the Covid-19 pandemic, with small businesses and startup hit hard as funding tightens and founders face a cash-flow squeeze. While few sectors seem immune, for startups and small businesses, now’s the time to buckle down and implement survival strategies. So, what’s plan B?
In the first in a series of free webinars, small business advisors at the very top of their game (who or may not have seen the other side of a recession) come together to share insights on operational contingencies, startup finance and accounting, legal matters, how tech can help and commercial savviness needed to steer out of this crisis.
