WHERE THERE IS CHAOS THERE IS OPPORTUNITY |
Michigan is at its best when entrepreneurs see a need and create a solution. When COVID-19 hit the state earlier this year, entrepreneurs turned a crisis into an opportunity to learn. Business leaders attacking the coronavirus pandemic have mastered multiple lessons as they’ve steered their companies through a COVID-19 obstacle course. In a “We’re in this together” spirit, they’ve risen to the challenges of this health crisis, and now they’re sharing what they’ve learned. Read on for insider tips from those who were able to pivot — and succeed. |

WEBINAR ON DEMAND
RE-OPENING AND STAYING OPEN
|
If you’re like many businesses, you are probably working overtime to navigate the ever-changing landscape created by C19. Whether you’ve already reopened or will be opening this summer, this is a good time to re assess where you are.
This session, presented by SCORE mentor Suzanne McGrath, will help business owners – including retailers and restaurants – learn from the experience they’ve had over the summer to:
- Create a pro forma Profit & Loss statement as a basis for planning the next 12 months
- Minimize costs and maximize revenue through market positioning
- Develop strategies for dealing with capacity limits, especially in a restaurant context
- Consider how to plan for a potential second wave as well as long term changes in consumer behavior
- Analyze options for dealing with lease issues
The goal of this webinar is to address these very real issues that will continue to pose existential challenges to many businesses at least through the next year.
