Have you modeled your cash position?
- Cash is king: Do you know if you have enough? If you come up short, reach out to your bank to try and leverage your line of credit.
- Do “zero-based budgeting.” Examine your entire P&L to determine what is essential vs. non-essential. Then look at headcount; who are your A-players? Do whatever you can to keep them, even if they aren’t productive right now. They are impossibly hard to find, so do whatever it takes.
- And, if after you leverage your line of credit you still don’t have enough, check out:
- SBA’s disaster relief loans (up to $2M) –we have more information we can share if you need it. Start here: https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/disaster-assistance.
