2021 February Small Business Hub: Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA)

Where collaboration, continuing education, and community collide.

With a new focus monthly pertaining to a topic that local businesses have reached out about needing help in, participants will have the opportunity to hear and speak directly with successful small business owners, investors, and waymakers on how they can better their business. At the Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce (GBACC), we believe that our community thrives because we don't just do business with other businesses, we do it with people, whether digitally or face to face.

At the end of 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) was enacted to provide additional relief related to COVID-19. This law includes funding for more PPP loans, including a “second draw” for some businesses that received a loan last year. Did you receive a PPP loan? Are you eligible for a second draw? Do you have questions about forgiveness? What about deductibility?
 
Join Katie Lejong, CPA and leader of Landmark CPAs’ internal CARES Act task force, as she gives an update on the latest information related to the PPP program, forgiveness applications, deductibility of loans and more.
