Do you need financial or legal assistance for COVID-19 related issues?
This linkwill take you, a small business owner or entrepreneur, to the Request for Assistance Form where you can request specific assistance from lawyers and financial professionals. This help is completely free and is offered in partnership between us, private law firms, companies and institutions, and Start Small Think Big.
As the Request Form will tell you, you can ask to speak to a lawyer about a range of COVID-19 specific legal issues your business may be facing, whether your business is eligible for federal loans under the CARES Act, talk to a financial professional about what loan amount makes sense for your business, and get help filling in a model or specific loan or grant application.
Take a look and please feel free to reach out to us or to Start Small Think Big (Response@startsmallthinkbig.org) if you have any questions.
Please give us a call or send us an email if you have any questions or concerns. We are here to help you and support you in this difficult time. Let us know what we can do to support you, your staff, and your small business!
