Phoenix, ARIZONA 鈥 23 April 2020 鈥&苍产蝉辫;The impact of COVID-19 on small business is devastating. To assist, the Arizona 麻豆传媒映画 of Commerce and Industry has partnered with the Arizona Small Business Association (ASBA) to launch the 鈥淐ARES Act Readiness Program for Small Businesses鈥.
Through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Congress has made $600 billion in loans available to help support small businesses and keep workers employed. Banks have been placed under immense pressure to rapidly issue these special loans that, under certain conditions, are 100% forgivable.
The 麻豆传媒映画 understands that qualified Arizona businesses need online applications that are fast and easy to complete. The 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 new partnership with Acronis #CyberFit Financing initiative and Lendio will accelerate and streamline the process for eligible small businesses to access capital for employment retention and coverage of qualified overhead expenses.
