County of San Diego Seal

San Diego County Board Supervisor Nathan Fletcher and the San Diego & Imperial Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network, with funding by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (Go-Biz.), have partnered to educate, communicate, and assist San Diego County small business owners with navigating requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Assistance includes free online training (live and recorded) and free one-on-one business advising.

“The SBDC is a vital partner for small businesses in San Diego,” Fletcher said. “This new, complimentary  online resource will assist business owners adapting to the new way of operating during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

To operate your business in the COVID-19 environment, the County of San Diego has created a Safe Reopening Plan template to guide you through the required safety procedures for reopening. Each business opening in this environment must complete the Safe Reopening Plan, implement the safety plan, and post the plan at the entrance of your business. If a business cannot fully meet the standards in the template, they may provide their plan to the county for approval.

San Diego County tiers change. As always, check coronavirus-sd.com for the latest updates, recommendations, and regulations.
