Resources for Business Owners
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
With the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, all business owners should be evaluating the availability of resources to assist with the challenges presented by COVID-19. The most substantial relief for those who own a small business may be with the Small Business Association Assistance, and some help is offered in the form of forgivable loans. There is also help for the self employed individuals and "Gig" workers and freelancers under the plan.
