Interim Guidance for Businesses and Employers to Plan and Respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

#SAVESMALLBUSINESS - Information & Toolkit
Small business owners are fighting to keep their workers employed and their dreams alive. Amid the pandemic, too many small businesses already have shuttered, and millions more are on the brink of permanent closure.
The US Chamber launched the Save Small Business Initiative, a nationwide program to provide supplemental funding, resources and webinars, research, and advocacy. Most immediately, we are urging Congress to replenish funds for critical small business emergency loan programs in the CARES Act. 
Join us in supporting small businesses, their workers, and the families and communities that depend on them.
