Mississippi State University and the Mississippi Small Business Development Center have been provided with resources from the CARES Act to provide education, training and business advising to small businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of mandated changes in business operations, many family businesses have had to shift their operations. The FBEI Outreach Series – Responding to COVID-19 addresses the survival, growth and sustainability of small businesses and their special needs.
In this session, Scott Singley of Brunini Grantham Grower & Hewes, PLLC discusses the Paycheck Protection program (PPP), which is designed to offer relief to businesses operating in an ever-challenging business environment, due to COVID-19. However, a great deal of uncertainty surrounds the rules related to the PPP. Thus, this session is designed to aid participants in understanding the guidelines surrounding the PPP. Participants will learn about requirements related to loan forgiveness.
