It is no news that the coronavirus crisis has disproportionately hurt small businesses. As top elected officials finally decide on how to provide financial relief for small businesses, and how much assistance the government will allocate to them, those who were most affected by the immediate economic and social effects of the Coronavirus have been black-owned businesses.
So how can black-owned businesses put their business in a more secure position to stay strong and recover faster once the crisis subsides? Martin Ekechukwu, a serial entrepreneur and Co-founder of WHTWRKS, a marketing company that works with small business brands and prepares them for international expansion and 10x growth, recommends these strategies to help black-owned businesses recover faster.
Additionally, on Tuesday, March 31st, from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (EST), Martin, alongside Fallon Ukpe (Zeal Capital Partners) and Owen May (MD Global Partners), will be hosting a free virtual fireside chat about what businesses can do to manage through the Coronavirus crisis.
