COVID-19 and Small Business - You Are Not Alone.

No matter where you are in the small business process, I think we can all agree that COVID-19 is scary for all of us. We are hearing a lot about restaurant/bar related small businesses, but there are other small business owners impacted, too. This week, I talked to four business owners about how COVID-19 has impacted them, what they’re stressed about, how they are moving forward and how they are coping with the current state of life. Angie Ballard from Hair Nation Salon (brick-and-mortar, currently closed); Nick Lagagsorn from Buddha Lounge (open, to-go only) and Roulay Restaurant (closed after being open for only 30 days); Graham Allen from Square Pegs Design (freelancer with altered schedule); and Megan Bell from The Next Door Market (originally set to open May 2020). You are not alone, small business friend.
