Coronavirus: Amex Supports Small Businesses with 'Stand for Small'
Small businesses are some of the hardest hit during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic due to state-required closures and social distancing. As a result, many small business owners are struggling to make ends meet and are looking for resources to help them through these uncertain times.
Yet these programs mostly offer temporary monetary support. There's little guidance and very few resources to assist business owners who are looking to reduce expenses or manage remote employees.
GM exits car-sharing business and shuts down Maven – TechCrunch
The car-sharing service has struggled for months, long before COVID-19 upended the “shared” mobility sector. Last year, Maven scaled back and stopped service in nearly half of the 17 North American cities in which it operated. Maven continued to operate in Detroit, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Toronto. However, two programs within Maven, its consumer car-sharing and peer-to-peer service, also stopped in Washington, D.C.
GM confirmed to TechCrunch that it has started to wind down Maven. All assets and resources will be transferred to GM's Global Innovation organization, as well as the larger enterprise, according to a GM spokesperson.

Coronavirus Florida: Business leaders say Florida can re-open safely
That much was clear from the second meeting of the Re-Open Florida Task Force convened by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
These were some of suggestions business leaders offered Tuesday for safely re-opening one of the largest economies in the world from the shutdown imposed to contain COVID-19.
But DeSantis seized on the fact that the health care system hasn't been overly taxed to argue Tuesday for re-opening the state, noting Florida currently has more ICU beds available than in February before the crisis hit.
I'm a small business owner. Where's my coronavirus bailout? | Opinion | The Guardian
I knew this was going to be bad. Two days before Andrew Cuomo ordered the shutdown of all restaurants, I gathered my 39 staff members at Her Name Was Carmen, my restaurant and bar in New York City, and I told them we had to adapt to the changes the coronavirus would bring.
Being an immigrant entrepreneur from Colombia in New York means you have to be proactive, and try to anticipate what might come next: from a new trend to a pandemic.
I lost it. How is it possible that Shake Shack and many other mega-chains got millions of dollars, and small restaurateurs like me, who collectively provide jobs for millions of people, were left with nothing?
