No one will forget the Great Recession of 2008. Small businesses were hit hard, and we didn’t get a bailout. In fact, more than 200,000 small businesses shuttered during the last recession. You must focus on how to take make sure that your business will survive this historic time in history. You must start on recession proofing your business, make financial decisions, and securing bank loans and alternative financing for your small business.  Are you tired of hearing about the slowing economy? Fewer openings, more layoffs, and everyone wants more for less, while your business expenses keep creeping up. Banks are getting tough with their lending practices. Times are tight, but this is a perfect time for an aggressive small business. You’ll need to get smart about your marketing and business operations to recession-proof your business.   Covid-19 is very similar to a recession or a depression depending on what type of business you are in.
