The World Health Organization has said loud and clear that the pandemic is not over yet. Some analyses say that we can expect a certain return to normalcy in the second quarter of 2021, while others remain more pessimistic.
We’re an optimistic bunch and we like to look at the full half of the glass. Still, this doesn’t mean that we’re completely oblivious to…well, reality.
Almost a year ago we started new initiatives to support our subscribers — as soon as the crisis became a certainty. Today, we look to the future optimistically but without denying that, no matter how soon the pandemic is declared over, its effects on small businesses will be much longer-lasting.
In the US alone, 43% of SMEs closed between January and April last year and countless others still face the potential of a complete shutdown, even with lockdown measures growing less strict.
The political, technological, and societal factors are the three major risk drivers that will persist even after the pandemic is over. Protracted uncertainty is, in my opinion, the biggest challenge of the upcoming period.
Businesses of all sizes need certainty to be able to evolve and grow. They need to know what they can rely on and which risks to mitigate first. Obviously, a global pandemic takes all that off the table.
Even if some industries have grown exponentially since the debut of the pandemic (I’m looking at you, eCommerce and digitalization!), this doesn’t mean that the growth itself wasn’t a bumpy ride, full of unexpected perils, especially for small businesses.
Because we know how important it is to have some constants to rely on when everything seems to be changing around you, we’re renewing our pledge to support our subscribers during the upcoming year with more special programs, discounts, and, of course, the reliability you’re already accustomed to.
