SUMMARY:Resilience & Resurgence Tour\, COVID's 2nd Wave of Business Challenges
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe SC SBDC contracted with Dr. Joey Van Nessen to conduct a statewide survey of small businesses to identify the ongoing impact of COVID-19 including current and emerging challenges they face. Not only long-term impact of shutdowns and loss of clients\, but also supply chain disruptions\, difficulties in hiring and retaining employees\, inflation and other factors that are hurting their revenues and resiliency to stay afloat. \nThe study explains the largest concerns of business owners and what assistance they need to sustain and grow their enterprises. \nFive sessions will be held between late February and April to describe the results\, share the key needs of small and medium-sized businesses\, and to hear directly from business owners on how we can help them overcome these challenges and succeed. \nFor more information and to register\, click here to go to SBA’s Events page!
