In partnership with the Small Business Resiliency Network (SBRN)

of the Washington State Department of Commerce

the Small Business Resiliency Program

of the Japan America Society of the State of Washington

has supported minority business owners of limited English ability

who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Specifically, our program was chosen by the Washington State Department of Commerce to offer support IN JAPANESE to Japanese and Japanese speaking businesspersons.

このプログラムは次の二つの軸で成り立っています

Our program includes 2 main pillars of support:

1. Resources

SBAが提供するPPPやEIDLのように

申請により支援を受けるプログラムを始め図書館で提供する無料相談コーナーなど

多くの支援プログラムが国、州などの公的機関から提供されています

そのような支援プログラム情報を日本語で紹介します

Explanations and information in Japanese regarding Federal,

State and other public programs offered by the

Federal Small Business Administration (SBA)

such as the PPP and EIDL programs,

and more recently WA Hospitality Grants.

Applicants to these programs can access government support

such as free consulting sessions offered at

public libraries and in virtual meetings.

2. Technical Assistance

事業を立ち上げる、あるいは運営するにあたり

多くの疑問点を解決しなければならない場面は多く

こんな時に日本語で相談できたら・・

と感じる方は多いのではないでしょうか？
