Small Business Services

The kinds of small businesses JPNDC serves (primarily those that rely on face-to-face interaction, as well as construction) have truly felt the brunt of the pandemic.

JPNDC technical assistance has helped 182 small businesses – 94% of clients – survive through accessing emergency resources and adapting their business practices.

See our Small Business Services page for more information.
