City of Charleston to Co-Host Stimulus Webinar for Small Businesses
The city of Charleston Business Services Division has partnered with the U.S. Small Business Administration and Small Business Development Center to host a free webinar, The Stimulus Round 2: What Small Businesses Need to Know, to provide important information regarding the second round of stimulus funding for small businesses in the Charleston area. The webinar will be hosted via Zoom on Wednesday, January 27th, 2021 from 9 am to 10:30 am.
Why it matters: On December 20, 2020, Congress approved a new $900 billion COVID relief package, which includes an additional $284 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for small businesses. This new package provides additional funding for those businesses that did not receive PPP money in the first round, particularly minority and women-owned businesses.
This webinar will provide details on who can apply for stimulus funding, how much businesses are eligible for, how to apply for forgiveness, important deadlines and available local resources, as well as an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.
How to attend: Registration is required, as space is limited, and can be completed here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YqVUT_hwR0yYo6XPlaLrYA
