Economic Impact on Small Business

We want to hear about the economic impact on small business like yours.

Businesses are facing tough times. We all know the world is in the downslope of a pandemic situation right now. So many businesses are struggling with the effects. As well as the economic downturn, companies have also been forced to adapt quickly due to changes in the supply chain. Many companies are having to restructure their operations to stay afloat. If your business is not experiencing these problems but is in a rapidly changing industry, you may be able to adapt more easily.

We would like to hear from you on the effects the current economic climate has had on your business. What business are you in? Have you reduced your hours of operation? Have you had to close your business? What changes have you had to make to find and retain employees? Let us know.
