With everything surrounding COVID-19, last quarter seems like a very long time ago.  We developed our recent report, not sure if we were going to share it due to all of the confusion and concern regarding the pandemic – but compiling it gave us some semblance of normalcy. Maybe it will do the same for the readership of the Boca Tribune.

Our office is here to assist Boca Raton’s corporate community in any way possible, especially during these very challenging times. With 13,000 businesses and 123,000 employees in our City, we’re receiving a number of inquiries from corporate executives, small business owners, employers and employees. Most are interested in knowing what programs may be available to assist them. In an effort to provide this information as comprehensively as possible, we developed this Resource Guide . Our hope is that these resources will provide you or someone you know with much needed support. Although we are working remotely, our office is ready to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, stay well.
