Description:
The Radford University Small Business Development Center presents the workshop titled "Ready For Anything - Financial Resilience for New River Valley Small Businesses" on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at the CoWorks @ The Hub at Radford University.

Financial Resilience is the second session of our Six-Part Series, Ready For Anything, designed to prepare small businesses in the New River Valley for unforeseen challenges, and to help you develop a plan to move forward once the dust settles.

Unexpected disruptions can impact any business, especially after a natural disaster such as Hurricane Helene. This session will help business owners assess their current financial position, understand their cash flow needs during an emergency, and prepare the records needed to support recovery funding applications.

You’ll learn how to:
• Assess your business’s current financial position using a disaster recovery framework
• Calculate cash flow needs and estimate operational “burn rates” during a temporary shutdown
• Identify the financial records and documentation needed for SBA and FEMA disaster assistance applications
• Complete a Schedule of Liabilities to better understand existing financial obligations
• Prepare financial recovery strategies that support business continuity after a disruption

This workshop is designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs in the New River Valley who want to strengthen their financial preparedness, improve cash flow resilience, and better prepare for unexpected business interruptions or disaster recovery situations.

Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of their business’s financial readiness during a disruption, along with practical tools and guidance for evaluating cash reserves, organizing financial documentation, and preparing for potential disaster recovery funding opportunities.

Presented by the Business Advisors with the Roanoke Regional SBDC and New River Valley SBDC, along with guest facilitators/subject matter experts.

Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet to participate in live workshop activities focused on their business’s unique situation.

In-person attendance is recommended, but classes will also be broadcast virtually and a Zoom link will be provided prior to the session date, upon request.

Workshops are held in-person at CoWorks @The HUB, located at 801 East Main Street in Radford, VA.
