ASBFEO Kate Carnell and SmartCompany news editor Matt Elmas discuss how small business owners can keep their doors open despite the impacts of COVID-19. It’s the information you need about the assistance available to you and how to access it.

Kate and Matt explore the following topics:

  • Assistance available to small businesses — how to get the cash to keep your doors open
  • How to apply for government assistance and who’s eligible
  • How to deal with outgoings — debt, utilities, staff costs
  • What to do if you’re struggling to pay your rent
  • Assistance offered by banks
  • The importance of developing ways to cope with stress and strategies to maintain mental health during this crisis
