Find money during times of crisis

Find money during times of crisis

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

These are unprecedented times. Fallout from the Coronavirus may have you feeling uncertain, anxious and even a little fearful. But I bet you also feel the urge to take action and protect the things you’ve worked hard to build. One way to do that is by finding the money that keeps your doors open. How can you do that when clients aren’t knocking on the door? Well, the federal and state governments—as well as private funds from companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google–are providing low- (and zero-) interest loans, grants, and programs. The online HR portal Gusto.com has put together an amazing spreadsheet listing resources state by state which it says it’s updating regularly. It’s good stuff.

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
