Tanology Avoids Getting Burned by COVID
Lindy White, founder & CEO of Tanology Spray Tan & Beauty Bar, turned to the Alabama SBDC for help with crafting a vision, strategy, budget, financial projections, and even pre-opening to-do lists for her new business. When the pandemic hit, she returned to the SBDC to help navigate the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), which allowed her to keep building out her business. Since opening in 2019, the company has grown from 3 employees to 11; they recently opened a second location. “I'm very thankful for the resources the SBDC provides. My advisor has mentored me through all of the different stages of business ownership.” Tanology won the Small Business of the Year Award for Auburn and was nominated for the top small business in Alabama.

HARBOR MARITIME & STEVEDORING CO.
Harbor Maritime experienced a downturn in container volumes in the second quarter of 2020. The shortage is due to supply chain and logistical challenges of the European, Asian, and American markets caused by the Coronavirus. Also, the Governor of American Samoa has restricted any incoming cruise ships from entering the territory until further notice, for which the company is the local agent. The company has seen a tremendous drop in revenue since the COVID-19 was identified. However, with the aid of Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), the company managed and survived at the height of COVID-19 without laying off any employees. Thanks to EIDL!
