COVID-19 Relief for Salon Owners
The Coronavirus has disrupted millions of salons across the nation. If your salon is one of the many that is being impacted, don’t fret! On Friday, March 27, 2020, the CARES act was signed into law by the President. The CARES act contains an exciting $376 billion in relief for American workers and small businesses. For all of you salon owners, assistance is just a few clicks away!
Relief Funding Options
Multiple options are available to small business owners through the U.S. Small Business Administration. These options include:
- Paycheck Protection Program
- EIDL Loan Advance
- SBA Express Bridge Loans
- And SBA Debt Relief
Paycheck Protection Program
The Paycheck Protection Program offers loans to small businesses to help keep their employees on the paycheck throughout this challenging time. This loan is forgivable under a few conditions, including that the funds be used to keep all employees on the payroll for eight weeks. This loan is primarily for businesses with less than 500 employees. With recent changes, self-employed businesses can now apply! For more information regarding this program, and to check if your salon qualifies, visit the SBA Paycheck Protection application site.
