The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted businesses around the world. According to news reports, some emergency loan programs have run out of funding, which would have provided small businesses with financial support during these uncertain times.
Some large companies have received emergency loan program funding and are returning it in order to help small businesses who are in dire straits because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Businesses are also laying off and furloughing employees and hoping there’s an opportunity to recover after the COVID-19 pandemic.
