Supporting Small Businesses in Montgomery County During COVID-19

More than 95% of businesses in Montgomery County are small businesses with 50 or fewer employees. Supporting our County’s small, independent, locally-owned business community is especially important in this time of crisis.   

Here are some ideas to support our local businesses:  

• Restaurants: Order your meals online, through an app, or take out.
• Services (hair and nail salons, yoga studios): Buy gift certificates now to use in the future.  
• Entertainment venues (local theaters): Buy tickets now for performances later.
• Local breweries: Many are introducing home (and curbside) delivery - go for it!  

Check out the Montgomery County Food Council’s Food and Beverage Guide which highlights many local businesses and restaurants, some of which offer online ordering or home delivery.

COVID-19 Update for Local Businesses 

Montgomery County has a new Resources for Business webpage. The site includes guidance and links to information and services to help local businesses dealing with the effects of COVID-19. Business owners will find a COVID-19 business fact sheet, best practices in the workplace, information about how to address customer service challenges, and frequently asked questions and answers section.  

For the latest COVID-19 updates, visit the County’s Coronavirus website and follow us on  Facebook and Twitter @MontgomeryCoMD.
