As well they should. Let them die. Business is an investment, and such endeavors bring risk to the equation. Contingency planning competent owners would include such catastrophic events. Bailouts are nothing more than welfare, socialism. Another example of government corruption.

Small Business’ express fear because $150billion of the $349b will be fraud related. Very laxed parameters

For most small biz, the issue will be the approval process at banks since a lot don’t want to lend 1% rates and lend only to current clients, and some banks are lost in how to administer/what their risks is with default. There’s no guaranteed forgiven money, lots of proof at end

Very confusing especially when a bank tells you we have no clue how to proceed comeback next week or later🤡🤡🤡

Has anything been organized with this administration? Even a blank check as big as this stimulus action can't make up for poor disorganized leadership.

It’s pretty straight forward, there’s a one page description on the SBA website

Good and accurate article

I completed mine yesterday in less than 30 minutes. The idiot who wrote this story could never run a business given this low aptitude. Do better

I was so scared and confused that I went online yesterday and I completed my application in 5 min

The US government only assists large corporation. Even people are expendable.
