Industrial Watch: April 11, 2020

“Included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) is the Paycheck Protection Program that many small businesses are taking advantage of during the pandemic. The program cites $350 billion in guaranteed or forgivable loans for businesses with less than 500 employees. The loans continue to pay employees and cover business expenses during the crisis, at a fixed rate of 1% with no collateral required and no prepayment penalties or fees. Loans will be forgiven if businesses submit a request and submit documentation that supports the requirements of the forgiven loan (no reduced staff count, no reduced salaries for certain employees, etc.). During this unprecedented freeze of operations on a number of levels, we are reminded that the CARES Act is not a stimulus package, but much needed emergency relief.”  -Adam Abushagur
