While COVID-19 has created an interruption within the human society across the globe, this will eventually cause a permanent change in Business Models, working culture, and approach to digital strategies within the small business space for the future.

Because of government shutdowns all over the globe, small businesses that rely heavily upon in-store foot traffic are, through no fault of their own, forced to shut down. For some business owners, it also comes as an opportunity to work on their digital presence and innovate.

To conclude, COVID 19 has brought the World to its knees shattering the businesses and economies worldwide. However, these challenges provide an opportunity for new companies to flourish based on a new digital reality – completely digital and contactless.

This is the perfect time to focus on digital transformation by realizing its necessity.

Like in the past, human beings will always find ways to innovate, and I think this time, it would be our way of doing business with each other.
