In this episode, Paul Barron talks with Ami Kassar, a business funding expert, to discuss the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and available SBA programs for businesses affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

The intent of the PPP is to allow businesses to get their employees back on payroll for eight weeks with a 100 percent forgivable loan as long as they have not laid-off workers in response to the virus. This program provides temporary security for employees during this uncertain time, ensuring that when we restore back to normal employees will be ready to return to work.

Many otherwise successful businesses struggle because of lack of capital or access to capital—in fact, it is the number one reason why businesses fail in their eighteen months. Improving access to capital should be one of your main goals for your business.

The true measure of a successful business is if it has become a brand. Why? We explore one of the icons in brand building with Shula Restaurants CEO.
