CARES ACT
This legislation is aimed at providing relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. While that is great news, in and of itself, here’s a look at some of the key provisions included in the bill and what that may mean for you:
COVID-19 ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN APPLICATION
The Act includes $10 billion for grants, which provide an emergency advance of up to $10,000 to small businesses and private nonprofits harmed by COVID-19 within three days of applying for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). This money does not have to be repaid even if the business is denied for the loan.
