We judge the majority of IMB revenue will continue to be generated from high-frequency commercial sex buyers, as low-frequency buyers will probably avoid IMBs in the short-to-medium term. We further assess that many IMB owners will almost certainly explore alternative revenue streams, at least temporarily, to avoid the permanent closure of their businesses, such as enrolling in small business assistance programs. While IMB owners will try to capitalize on the eventual re-opening of non-essential businesses, state and city leaders are well-positioned to prevent IMBs from returning to normal business operations.
