COVID-19 Financial Assistance ‘State and Federal’ “STAY TUNED!”

 1.       The PPP (Payment Protection Plan) Loan Program (federal) has been extremely popular and relatively easy for small businesses to apply for, providing they can show a 25% loss in gross revenues in at least one quarter of 2020 compared to 2019. If implemented correctly, small businesses can apply for debt forgiveness.  Application for these low-interest loans that can be converted to grants must be received by May 31, 2021.

 2.       Round 6 (final round) of the CA Small Business COVID-19 Grant Relief Program starts on April 28, 2021 and ends on May 4, 2021. These are grants that are easy for small businesses to implement once received. You cannot apply early.
