OPENING A NEW BUSINESS? THE CBDC IS HERE TO HELP

There’s no doubt the pandemic has hit small businesses hard. Even in its early weeks, February to April 2020, the number of active businesses plummeted and unfortunately, the consequences of the early shutdowns impacted woman- owned business. Does that bad news mean that now is the wrong time to consider starting a new business? Not necessarily. Opportunities exist for small businesses today, including support and funding for start-ups.
