    The dog days of summer are upon us, and it’s no secret that the weather in Central Ohio has been less than ideal. Rain and severe storms have wreaked havoc throughout Ohio, causing damage to small businesses across the state. However, there are ways your business can be ready for these disasters in order to lessen the destruction.

    Here are some planning steps from the Small Business Administration that you can take to help your business survive the storms.

    Even if you’re fully prepared for a natural disaster, it can still cause your business quite a bit of damage. The SBA offers disaster loans which can be used to repair or replace real estate, personal property, machinery or equipment and inventory that has been damaged or destroyed. You can learn about the different types of disaster loans here.
