PPP (closed for now) is managed under SBA 7a and the money will be disbursed through the banks and other lenders who participate in Government Guaranteed Lending. Loans will cover payroll, rent, and utilities and the forgiveness guidelines are significantly relaxed so watch one of SBA webinars.

While waiting for the SBA loan, we suggest you do the following to conserve CASH:
* Contact banks for a bridge loan to cover immediate needs
* Contact lessors of property to postpone payment for a couple of months
* Contact suppliers to see if they are willing to delay payments
* Download this useful toolkit from U.S. Chamber of Commerce
* Browse disaster-preparedness-and-resiliency-resources
