The CARES Act: Small Businesses
Passed on March 27, 2020, the CARES Act provides an estimated $2 trillion in fiscal stimulus to combat the economic impact of COVID-19, and provides the healthcare industry the financial support, equipment and protection it needs to combat the virus.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected life in ways we couldn’t imagine, the deadly virus and efforts to contain the spread have prompted a significant government response. The legislation is intended to combat the economic risks associated with a slowdown in individual spending and helps businesses of all sizes avoid closures and employee layoffs. It also provides necessary funds to help support states and municipalities.
This document highlights the major small business provisions in the CARES Act and how they can help during this unforeseen time.
