PPP Participation
We previously told you about the Paycheck Protection Program – a $350-billion program that is part of the CARES Act and is intended to provide eight weeks of cash-flow assistance to small businesses through federally guaranteed loans.
CAMEO Senior Advisor Mark Quinn has been diving into the mechanics of the program. Join our meeting on Monday, April 6, 2020 at 4:00pm PDT to discuss the program and what you should consider if you were to participate and how to best advise your clients.
