Business Resources:
If you have been, or expect to be financially impacted, you may want to be proactive in contacting your bank(s), lender(s) and supplier(s) to determine what steps can be taken to mitigate the impact. If your business has an existing SBA 7(a) loan, 504 loan or Microloan, please contact your lender to discuss your options. You may also contact your insurance company to determine if your business insurance will cover any losses due to the current emergency and steps you would need to take to file a claim.
