Small businesses are facing significant hardship due to the economic impacts of COVID-19, which will have ripple effects for the broader economy. JPMC Institute research has shown that most businesses have irregular cash flows and limited cash liquidity, critical predictors of small business survival. Understanding the distinctive risks to the sector will be key to weaken the blow of the pandemic and aid recovery.
Join us for a virtual panel discussion with Diana Farrell, President & CEO of the JPMC Institute, Karen Mills, Former Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, Holly Wade, Director of Research and Policy Analysis at NFIB, Brad McConnell, President of Accion Chicago, and Chris Wheat, Director of Business Research at the JPMC Institute. Panelists will discuss the continually evolving federal and local policy response, how small businesses are faring, and what can be done to promote and accelerate small business recovery.
