Yale Law School - Free Support for Small Businesses Impacted by COVID-19
The Community and Economic Development (CED) Clinic and the student-run COVID Student Small Business Support Project may be able to assist you at NO COST in addressing COVID’s impact on your organization. Support may include:
Providing information about government loans and grants
Navigating state and local resources to obtain financing
Making emergency modifications to lease terms
Understanding changes to tax law
Other legal issues that may arise
We provide support to small businesses, nonprofits, and self-employed people in the greater New Haven area. If you are interested in assistance, please contact us at COVID.CED@ylsclinics.org or 203-432-4022.
If you reach out for support, a student may contact you to learn more and offer information about available resources. As the student will explain, such a conversation is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice. If you require legal advice, we will attempt to make a referral to a free lawyer.
Upcoming Community COVID Webinars
Community members are invited to attend a series of free webinars this summer on small business, unemployment benefits, labor issues, and other COVID-related topics. Attend via Facebook live at our Facebook page here. A schedule of our webinars is available here. If you can’t make it, we’ll post recordings after each webinar.
Other Resources for Small Businesses and Nonprofits
The State of Connecticut has collected additional state and local resources at its business resources page, here. It has also created a guide to the CARES Act for small businesses.
