As small businesses across the country are grappling with the current and potential impacts associated with COVID-19, NFIB is continuing to track the latest developments from healthcare officials, congress and the administration. We know small business owners are acting now to take necessary precautions, but also need to understand how actions taken by policymakers today affect business operations down the road.

On this page, you will find up-to-date resources from NFIB and outside organizations. Throughout this time, NFIB will continue to offer webinars, legislative monitoring, and additional resources.

If you have any questions regarding your business and COVID-19, please contact NFIB’s Small Business Legal Center at 800-552-NFIB

Many small businesses across Tennessee have seen a dramatic decline in foot traffic and sales. Many are struggling with payroll and are now having to figure out the new federal law (H.R. 6201) that requires them to pay sick leave and FMLA. The law could not have come at a more inopportune time. But small business owners and their employees are resilient, and we will come through this. But many are going to need help and relief, not more mandates.” ~ Jim Brown
