ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

Small businesses have long been a key driver of U.S. economic prosperity. According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses have accounted for two-thirds of net job creation since 1995. Moreover, 99.7% of paid employee firms in the U.S. are small businesses, making them an essential and highly influential component of U.S. economic output, employment, and personal prosperity. When this significant growth driver is halted as it has been during the recent COVID-19 outbreak, it has a palpable impact on the economy. Now is the time to prop up small businesses to help get the economy back on track.

The Paycheck Protection Program will provide such much needed relief to countless small businesses.   However, banks are experiencing a high volume of applications complicated by the challenges for lenders and borrowers of navigating a new government program.  It will be critical for small businesses to get access to these funds as soon as possible to maintain payrolls, meet financial obligations, and survive until movement restrictions can be eased. A more streamlined process to quickly and efficiently fund legitimate loan applicants will not only provide safeguards that loans are going to verified businesses but will also keep businesses running and people employed. Most importantly, faster funding and forgiveness mean accelerated relief for small businesses across the American economy.
