Got a small business in Minnesota that closed due to COVID-19? Do this next

Tan Do has been in the restaurant business for 23 years and his Skyway Wok restaurant attracts many workers in downtown Minneapolis everyday. But he closed it starting Wednesday for at least the next week or two. Few people stopped in Tuesday and even takeout orders didn’t come after downtown offices emptied and state leaders told restaurants to close to slow coronavirus. “I’ve not experienced anything like this before,” he said. “I have no plan right now. We don’t know where to start.” Across the state and country, millions of small business owners are in the same position. Attorneys, accountants and other consultants say some of the hardest work for business owners comes after the decision to close is made.
