Surviving the Pandemic: Business Not as Usual

EXECUTIVE ADVISORY BREAKFAST WEBINAR

Logo represents NWI Business Solutions Executive Advisory Group

NWI Advisors bring another brilliant panel of experts to discuss “COVID19 Survival Techniques for Small to Medium Sized Companies.”


As the COVID-19 crisis begins to turn a corner, so is your business. For owners and operators, the road ahead is still filled with challenges across many fronts:

  • What does the current and future business landscape look like?

  • Can you rely on government bailouts, or should you search elsewhere for funds to stay afloat?

  • Is bankruptcy an option?

  • How have your legal responsibilities changed with your customers and suppliers?

  • Can insurance protect you? What are your obligations to your employees?

  • What business functions can you virtualize or automate using information technology to help save money?

We have assembled a panel of experts in the fields of operations, insurance, corporate law, finance, accounting and information technology to answer these and many more of your questions on how to weather the pandemic storm. But what is of equal importance is that history has shown us again and again that crises like these force enterprises to adopt new practices, business models and operating norms.

Our team will guide you on how to seize this moment as a golden opportunity to transform your company and change the way you do things. You will leave this webinar not only with a game plan for getting your business back on its feet, but also a recipe for building a new beginning. Overall, you will find this webinar to be a worthwhile learning experience!
