BBB Business Tip: Reopening in the time of COVID-19
Many states across the country are preparing to reopen amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision on whether to reopen your business or not is an individual one and, for some, not a reality at this time. On the other hand, some are ready, and want to know how to do so safely! Guidelines will vary greatly across states and industries, so check with your local representatives for more information on what is allowed or not in your state. In the meantime, BBB has general tips for you to consider as you prepare to reopen and for those who continue to operate under restrictions.

Clark County Small Business Rental Assistance
During recent emergency orders put in place by Nevada Governor, Steve Sisolak, a number of businesses were forced to close or limit operations. These restrictions and closures made it difficult for businesses to generate the revenue needed to cover existing obligations. Many tenants and landlords worked together to outline rent deferral plans, but deferments still leave a debt obligation which may be difficult for small businesses to overcome during these challenging times.
Clark County has developed a commercial rental assistance program to help tenants stay in place and help landlords keep tenants. Commercial tenants, in conjunction with their landlords, operating within Unincorporated Clark County now have access to grant dollars to cover up to $10,000 in back rent.
