New Year Resolution:
Planning for Recovery and SBA Disaster Loans
New Year Resolutions: “The next time I WILL be prepared”
You said it after Harvey and again after Imelda and again after each disaster threat in 2020.
Every time a disaster strikes, 40% of the small businesses do not reopen and after three years, 75% of businesses without a continuity plan fail. Texas leads the nation in the number of physical disasters so it is not “if” but “when” the next disaster will strike.
Don’t become another statistic. Join us for this two-part webinar focused on SCORE’s Emergency Preparedness Program, specifically designed to help small business owners prepare for disasters and recovery in the aftermath. Make 2021 the year you face our next disaster prepared.
Part II: Planning for the Recovery and SBA Disaster Loans
Restarting after disaster strikes is always a challenge. Continuity of Operations Plans are crucial in improving your odds of success and SBA Disaster Loans are a lifeline. In this webinar you will learn about:
- Supply chain and revenue stream management
- The human element of recovery - staffing and relationships
- SBA disaster loans
