The ability of the small business entrepreneur is, more often than not, forced to reinvent itself whenever it faces a change in the times, whether welcome or forced as it is now due to the coronavirus pandemic. This adjustment to business procedures can often lead to new lines of revenue and a realignment of profit margins. This is one way that you can turn your present lack of business into an investment for your business’ future.
