Due to current economic conditions, the thriving business world of years passed now is a distant memory. The challenges of running a small business are magnified by increasing competition, waning consumer demand, new regulatory requirements and a retrenchment in business lending by commercial banks. As a small business owner, you might be asking yourself a few questions. What happens now? Is it the right time to make a change? What changes need to be made? And how can I ensure that my business will standout against the competition?

Knowing where to turn to find the right information can be one of the biggest struggles a small business owner faces. NEFCU, a leading credit union serving all Long Island’s banking needs, has launched a new online business resource, equipping small businesses with all the tools they need to succeed.
