Today, Monday March 23, 2020, Governor Whitmer issued a 'stay at home' order.
Please click here to read the Executive Order in full.

SBAM has released a statement, saying in part:

"We appreciate that Governor Whitmer has closely reviewed actions taken in other states and worked to ensure a stay at home order runs more smoothly in our state. Ensuring the continued operation of our supply chain and critical infrastructure during this time will help meet the needs of Michiganders while keeping critical businesses in operation. This order establishes an efficient process to ensure that bureaucracy does not stop critical life saving and life preserving work. Further, it allows for reasonable wind down of work in process and for all businesses to designate staff to perform basic minimum operations on site. "

We understand there will be many questions regarding essential vs. non-essential services and critical business operations. Please click here to review the full list as designated by the Department of Homeland Security

The SBAM team will devote our 3:00pm EST Daily Briefing to this order, and what it means for your small business.
