Given these uncertain times, it’s essential to connect with our colleagues and stay abreast of important information and resources for LA’s small business community – especially our most vulnerable businesses. To that end, Entrepreneurship Advantage will hold regular meetups with our members to share COVID-19 resources, discuss challenges and strategies, and find ways to support each other.
We’ll invite one or two guests to talk about the latest lending resources, technical assistance programs, or policy and industry updates. Then we’ll open up the floor for questions, discussion, and sharing.
Our topic for this week includes navigating unemployment insurance and other workforce issues related to self-employment and small businesses.
