In light of current Coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, the NJSBDC network is revising our training and event schedules to help protect the health of our clients, attendees, consultants, partners, NJSBDC team members, and overall communities.
That said, please contact your regional NJSBDC or visit www.NJSBDC.com to review updates on upcoming scheduled programs you’ve planned or are planning to attend. These sessions may convert to online training webinars or they may be rescheduled/ canceled based on the content and needs of the program.
We are also implementing virtual counseling sessions as opposed to in-person sessions. Please make sure to discuss how your regional NJSBDC will be able to meet with you and your team to continue your one-to-one counseling sessions.
SBA Coronavirus (COVID-19) Disaster Relief:
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has set aside $50 billion in low-interest Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) for “on-going” small businesses affected by the Coronavirus. Individual businesses may apply for up to $2 million per loan.
Please Note: The EIDL loans are not for a loss of income but to keep your businesses “afloat” during this Coronavirus crisis. (i.e.: lease payments, equipment, operating assistance, employee wages, etc.)

We also know that during this time your business must continue, which may mean reverting to working remotely. To assist you in conducting business virtually, we have compiled a list of vendors. We do not endorse one vendor over another but simply provide you with a comprehensive list.
