COVID-19

When should I close?

Again, unless there is a directive from the federal or state government (check here at the CDPH COVID-19 web page), it’s up to you. Some businesses are closing now because sales have dropped so far and so fast that they’re not able to keep up with operating expenses. If that’s you, reach out to layoffhelp@northcoastsbdc.org so we can help you figure out how to support your employees and connect you to a business advisor if applying for a SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan makes sense.
