With so many small businesses closed, one of major lifelines that company owners are counting on during the coronavirus pandemic is the $349B forgivable loans that the Federal government approved in the form of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
On the Small Business Radio Show this week, I interviewed Senator Marco Rubio, the Chairman of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee who discusses how small business owners can take part in the Federal Stimulus through this program. He emphasized how this is unlike any other economic downturn since the government, through “sheltering in place”, has effectively shut down many small businesses and has made it impossible for them to operate. He stated that under this situation, the government must help out.
