Abstract
The COVID-19 crisis and the measures taken against it have profound social and economic consequences for freelancers and SMEs. They experience financial stress and uncertainty, are forced to organize their work differently and have to 'survive' this crisis without the support of an employer. The impact of the pandemic on their health and financial resilience depends not only on government support, but also on the understanding and coping strategies of the entrepreneurs themselves. When they can clearly recognize the work demands placed on them by the pandemic and properly organize the resources they need to deal with them, they will be better able to remain healthy and financially resilient.
