Small Business Majority invites you to their event

Critical Resources and Policy Updates for Florida Small Businesses Impacted by COVID-19

About this event

The CARES Act attempted to help small business owners by funding the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), but many small businesses have struggled to access the funding they need to keep their businesses afloat. 

Join the Florida Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network and Small Business Majority for an interactive webinar where we'll discuss updates for small businesses impacted by COVID-19 and provide an overview of state and federal funding options available to entrepreneurs. We'll also have a discussion about the latest policy developments from Capitol Hill and what additional assistance may be on the way. 

Topics of discussion include:

  • Updates on federal and state assistance available to small business owners
  • Overview of the SBA Debt Relief program
  • Overview of the Florida Emergency Bridge Loan
  • Services and resources provided by Florida SBDCs to assist with COVID-19 small business relief
  • Additional tools and resources to help small businesses navigate this crisis
  • Opportunities to urge lawmakers to pass a robust small business bailout to bring real, immediate help to firms that need it most
  • Interactive Q&A
