Today I received news from the US Chamber regarding a small business grant program that they will be rolling out later this month. Specifically, they are offering $5,000 grants to small businesses with 3-20 employees, who are located in an economically vulnerable community (determined by zip code and includes Kershaw County) and have been financially harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is another great option for small businesses that are struggling. The application goes live on April 20 at 3 p.m. EST. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete the application and you will need your W-9.

I will continue to monitor the details of this program and will share an update once we get a copy of the application. I strongly encourage you to go to the application link above and enter your email so that you can be reminded when the application is available.

Continue to check back for these blogs and to our website for additional information important to your business. We are here to help so don't hesitate to reach out (803-432-2525 or email) if you have any questions or need assistance.
