Listen Later

Co-hosts and SCORE volunteers Armando Ojeda and Tom Nixon are joined by Nancy Grose, Economic Development Specialist with the Michigan District Office of the SBA and our SCORE chapter liaison. Nancy provides her first-hand perspective and expertise on how small businesses in Southeast Michigan have survived—and even thrived—during the economic downturn, as well as the available resources small business owners should be tapping into in order to forge ahead.

Discussion points:

  • How have business owners relied on the SBA to help guide them through the financial challenges caused by COVID-19?
  • How has that shifted in recent months? Are we coming out of the proverbial woods?
  • What are the new debt relief programs coming online available to small businesses in Michigan?
  • What are the best places to start for entrepreneurs who are just now beginning their endeavors as a startup business owner?
  • What about business owners looking to scale or pivot? For business owners 3-10 years into their businesses?
  • A run-through of the myriad resources available to local small business owners, from funding and capital to marketing and networking—many at no cost!
