In an effort to help small businesses understand the intricacies of the CARES Act and benefits available to them, the U.S Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship has created the following guide.

For more information, we encourage you to visit the U.S. Small Business Administration’s dedicated page for Coronavirus (COVID-19): Small Business Guidance & Loan Resources.

In addition to the above resource, we highly recommend visiting the U.S Treasury’s page on the CARES Act where you can find an overview of the Small Business Paycheck Protection Program and more.
