Dear Friends,

Recently, the White House announced changes they are making to ensure the smallest firms have access to the 2021 round of PPP funding. As many of you know, many of our small- and minority-owned businesses were passed over for these critical funds during the previous administration. I wanted to make everyone is aware that the Biden Administration, through the Small Business Administration (SBA), is proving a period through March 9 where only businesses with fewer than 20 employees are eligible to apply for PPP.
