After COVID-19 You’ll Have to Find a New Way To Do Business

Whatever your business, COVID-19 has probably affected you negatively. While more than 90% of businesses reported a disastrous bottom line, some endured and squeaked through as part of the 5% who suffered no negative effects.

Going forward, there are plenty of opinions on short-term and long-term possibilities. But it’s clear that everyone has to figure out what recovery looks like after COVID-19. For most business owners it will be a new way to do business.

The Challenges Past and Present

The challenges posed by COVID-19 are far-ranging – from business closures to the new remote working models, to the exponential national deficit. One way or another, we are negatively affected.

Some businesses will fail. With diminished income, bills can’t be paid, employees can’t be kept, and debt can’t be serviced. Even with government loans and grants, there’s no sustainable future.

As for the new work-at-home model, it’s here to stay, with employers and employees on board. Here again, depending on the business sector, challenges can be transformed into opportunities.

If you’re a business owner concerned about the federal deficit, you’re well aware that it’s just not sustainable. The good news is that the right stimulus measures could be the answer long term.

The Opportunities Going Forward

Post COVID-19, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Consumer demand for goods and services will revive. And while the delivery of goods and services will be reshaped, businesses will recover.

To be sure, many business sectors have survived and even thrived, during COVID-19. Others will have to “re-tool” their business model – they will succeed as they find a new way to do business.

One thing for sure, most business owners will have to transition more substantively into the new digital modalities – that’s everything from online ordering, to video conferencing, to accounting.

Needless to say, there will be entrepreneurs and investors looking for brand new opportunities. These opportunities will emerge in e-commerce, construction, and “green” renewable energies.
