During COVID-19, the impact to local communities, businesses and employees was felt across the board. The economic future is still uncertain, however, there are relief options available – and GLCU recommends taking advantage of them (SBA) if they fit your business needs.

The U.S. economy experienced severe pressure in March and April surrounding the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SBA program was developed to assist small business owners stay above water and keep their employees on payroll. An excess of $500 billion dollars was allocated to companies through the SBA PPP loan program.  The program is said to have assisted in helping our economy spring back.
