How Indiana's Small Businesses Are Struggling, Adapting and Fighting Through The Pandemic

April 06, 2020

Small business owners across the state are dealing with dramatic changes caused by the coronavirus pandemic. What financial help is out there for these businesses, and will it be enough?

Today we hear the stories of small business owners from across the state, including a family-run vending company, a car repair business, and a manufacturing company run by two brothers who have started making face shields for health care workers. And we talk to Indiana’s director of a national small business association about what they’ve learned from a statewide survey of business owners.
