A once $100 million company that was going to be the next unstoppable juggernaut of their industry has fallen by the weight of self-inflicted problems. ScaleFactor was a technology-driven company that had developed a "groundbreaking" AI to do books for small business owners, however, in truth, it was completed by people. So when they took in an overabundance of small business owners who were ready to relax for the end of the day, not realizing the danger their company is going to be in when they find out that their books were going to be filled with errors. This eventually led to waves upon waves of cancellations, which was so bad it led to the loss of at least $600,000 worth of lost accounts in 2019. YIKES! That is a lot of cancellations. As ScaleFactor shuts down, they claim their failures on the current pandemic crisis of COVID-19.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is now in its second round of funding from the federal government's crisis aid for small businesses. However, many business owners are still waiting to receive this funding. To make matters worse, some lenders are prioritizing high-profile firms and clients. What do you do if your business gets rejected for PPP?

There are alternative options such as going through other funding options or even exploring the traditional EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan), which is designed to help businesses through these tough times caused by the pandemic. 

Business owners should also look into other alternatives or tax incentives such as the paid leave credit, the employee retention credit or even deferring payroll taxes. For example, the CARES Act allows you to defer your portion of social security (6.2%) within the period of 3/27 - 12/31/20. Interested to learn more about this subject, go to our webinar, learn more now!

Other than exploring your funding options, now is also a critical time to understand your numbers for your business. Knowing your numbers and making informed decisions based on your numbers is important during these tough times. Understanding your numbers empowers you to make timely decisions that would strengthen the foundation of your business. We have created a cash flow runway tool specific for business owners so you could utilize this tool to assess the level of your cashflows and what it takes for your business to survive. 
 

Managing your cash flow is vital for your business during this pandemic. Now is the time to plan and prepare how to effectively manage your cash flow for your business. If you want to learn more about how to better utilize your cash flow, we're having a FREE webinar on how to manage cash flow during this pandemic. We'll show you how-to tips and tricks on how to effectively manage your cash flow so you and your business can survive this crisis.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (PPPHCEA) this week, which will provide additional funding for small business programs that were administered and created by the SBA through the CARES Act. 

The $484 billion PPPHCEA bill was already approved by the Senate and has already been signed by the President. This budget includes:

• $320 billion for the PPP to help small businesses

• $60 billion for the EIDL 

• $75 billion for hospitals

• $25 billion for coronavirus testing 

While it’s not clear when the new funds for these programs will be available or how long they will last, the best course of action is to sign up for those programs as soon as possible! The initial $349 billion in PPP funding from the CARES Act was already fully allocated within 13 days.
