Business Continuity Tips Discussed at Free Webinar Hosted by SBA and Agility Recovery
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Small businesses were particularly hard-hit by the floods, tornados and wildfires that occurred in the U.S. in 2013. Some were even forced to close temporarily, causing economic injury to business owners and communities that were already struggling.
