Business Resources for COVID-19

 ● NM Economic Development Department website has resources ​https://gonm.biz/​ for emergency loans and lines of credit.

• Link to webinar “COVID-19: Information and Resources for Businesses”  COVID.PDF
• NM MainStreet’s COVID-19 resource page https://www.nmmainstreet.org/coronavirus-resources/

 
● Information on marketing businesses during this challenging time see video and downloadable report for small businesses from WhizBang: https://whizbangtraining.com/  To download the report with tips and best practices, click the "Download Report” button, then click the "click here" text. The coloring of the text makes it hard to determine how to get the report, but just click the words. I would ask that you give them your email address if you are comfortable, since there has been a crazy amount of research and preparation in the information being provided!  The report has general information on COVID-19 and has identified five potential areas of disruption for small businesses:

•  Supply chain disruption - you won’t be able to get products
•  Social distancing disruptions - people will stop going out
•  Financial disruptions - ​people may stop spending money
•  Team disruptions - your employees’ ability to work may be affected
•  Personal disruptions - you and your family may be affected
