ABOUT the Workshop

With so much talk about the “the new normal,” what does this really mean and how will your business be impacted?  What are the financial implications and changes that you need to be concerned about?

During this event, our panelists will discuss these issues and give examples of the kinds of decisions you will need to be making:

• Do you have EIDL and/or PPP loans that your business will need to support?
• Have you updated your revenue and expense projections to thrive in the new economy?
• Are your vendors going to be able to supply you with the volumes and prices that you have traditionally experienced?
• Will your staffing needs change to serve a changed mix of online vs. in-person customer transactions?
• Has your competitive situation changed as a result of COVID-19 and how will that impact you and your customers?

Register for this free panel discussion event, sponsored by Fifth-Third Bank and SCORE, and hear from some knowledgeable experts about some of the changes, both positive and negative, that you should expect.  Bring all your questions for the panel; this is a free event.
