13 Ways to Protect Local Businesses During the Coronavirus Crisis

You can support them financially

Even though you can’t take advantage of their services right now you can still help them financially. All you have to do is to pay for a service and then not use it. The truth is that your payment will definitely matter for your favorite local business because all small businesses need support during the coronavirus pandemic.

“From one small business owner to another, I am highly mindful of where I spend my money and do my best to support small businesses whenever possible. Pay for services even if you are unable to use them if you have the resources to do so. Examples: You have a cleaning service come to your home. Pay them anyway to NOT come. You may see your hairstylist on a regular basis. Pay him/her anyway and do not go,” says Romy Taormina, CEO/Founder, Psi Health Solutions, Inc., the maker of Psi Bands.
