The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our way of living, at least for now and for the near future. It challenges businesses with uncertainty around the future, both short-term and long-term. To meet this challenge, we must begin to ask important questions, such as: How will my business return to normal? What is “normal” now anyway? Will anybody take on the risks to help my company? What are the opportunities presented by this?
In the days ahead we will learn a lot about the answers to these questions and what the future will look like once this pandemic is over. To help ensure that the future will remain positive for your business, you may need to look for help in places you would not normally look.
For many businesses this will mean looking to financial institutions and other funding sources for assistance. However, traditional lenders may not be willing to take on the level of risk the new normal will present. Luckily, story lenders are well-versed in taking on considerable risk and will become more important for many businesses in the days ahead.
