Building business resilience to COVID

Business owners around the world continue to struggle under the impact of Covid-19. Things they’re dealing with include reduced cash flow, vanishing customers, setting up new technology, ensuring employee safety, shaky supply chains and diminishing government financial aid. Yet small business owners are showing incredible resilience as they push forward despite these challenges to pivot to new ways of making money.

More than ever, business owners are relying on their business banking partner to help them with financing, advice, resources and support.

In this lively discussion we talk about:

• What’s happened to small businesses everywhere
• The 4 Covid-19 stages of small business
• What banks in different countries are doing to help small business customers
