Description

Is your business in trouble due to the Corona crisis? Submit your 'survival challenge' and get matched to a team of entrepreneurial students who will help you out!

The Corona crisis is significantly slowing down the economy, probably for months to come. Due to this, many businesses might be in serious trouble. If this is also the case for your business, you might want to find new ways of doing business. Or maybe you first need to find out what measures to take to survive the coming period.

If you need some help with this feel free to submit a 'survival challenge'. We will try to match you with one or more entrepreneurship and/or business students who will try to help you out.

Some examples of Survival Challenges could be:

  • Help us to get our financial numbers straight.
  • Help us to find ways to do more business online.
  • Help us to cut costs.
  • Help us to find new ways of making money.
  • Help us to make use of the governmental support.
  • Etc...

But feel free to come up with challenges that suit your situation best.
