The following was produced by Tearsheet Studios in partnership with small business lender BlueVine. It's Small Business Week, and BlueVine really wanted to highlight how it's helping small businesses, particularly around the paycheck protection program.

Today, we're happy to have two guests with us: First, Eyal Lifshitz, CEO of BlueVine. Eyal is a third-generation small business entrepreneur who co-founded BlueVine to build a better financial future for small businesses

Eyal is joined by one of his customers, Joy England of Advocates in Action. She talks about her experiences navigating through the pandemic as a small business and how firms like BlueVine helped SMBs with the PPP program, assisting in accessing needed funding during a trying time.
