"And we live in a social media universe now. And when people are not treated well, everybody around them is going to know. It used to be, you know, the business mantra was, 'If you do something good, one person hears about it. If you make a mistake, 20 people hear about it.' Now, if you do something good or bad, hundreds, if not thousands and potentially millions of people read or hear or see it."

On March 27, President Trump signed a historic $2 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (H.R. 748), into law. Included in this package is a $100 billion Provider Relief Fund to be allocated to Medicare and Medicaid providers nationwide battling the pandemic. Earlier this week, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) outlined how it plans to allocate this funding to address the economic harm across the health care system due to the cancellation or postponement of elective procedures, and to address the economic impact on providers incurring additional expenses caring for COVID-19 patients.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated almost $350 billion to help small businesses keep workers employed amid the pandemic and economic downturn. Known as the Paycheck Protection Program, the initiative provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses.
Importantly, these loans may be forgiven if borrowers maintain their payrolls during the crisis or restore their payrolls afterward.

5 Easy Ways to Help Support Your Favorite Local Business

Social distancing is the name of the game - there's ample data showing that increasing space between people will slow the spread of COVID-19. It's comforting to see the CDC and local and state governments taking steps to limit exposure.
However, there have been huge ramifications on the economy from these measures. In particular, local businesses that depend on in-person foot traffic for their revenue (restaurants, bars, nail salons, etc.) are seriously hurting.

Salesforce Offering $10,000 Grants to Small Businesses
Apply for $5,000 Emergency Grant Assistance from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Today, Joseph Amato, District Director for the US Small Business Administration (SBA) shared important information about access to Economic Injury loans through the SBA as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
This morning the SBC declared a state of emergency for Nevada which allows for the immediate acceptance of SBA disaster loan applications for Economic Injury. These applications will be processed through the Office of Disaster Assistance (ODA) in Sacramento, CA.
These Economic Injury loans are different from the typical SBA loan as they are being funded directly by the federal government and not through a lender.
The SBA has tried to set up a seamless process for small businesses to apply for financial assistance. You must go to their Economic Injury website www.sba.gov/disaster to begin the application process.
Small businesses and nonprofit organizations are eligible for an Economic Injury loan of up to $2MM with low interest rates (public companies are not eligible for this program).
For-profit businesses - 3.75% Fixed Rate
Non-profit businesses - 2.25% Fixed Rate
$0 Closing Costs for applications through the www.sba.gov/disaster website
The website will help you to determine the loan amount you will need based on factors including your monthly burn rate:
Normally the SBA would fund the above for 3-6 months, however it is allowing small businesses to request up to 12 months. The team at the SBA can help you with calculating your costs to determine how large your Economic Injury loan should be. You will also need to share historical income for the past 3 years with the SBA to help them understand your business cycles to further support your loan amount.
If your small business applies for a loan of $25,000 or less, the ODA will be able to streamline the process without requiring documentation - only a signature - to deliver funds as quickly as possible. All other loans are expected to take between 2-3 weeks from application to funding.
If you underestimate the amount of money you need from this Economic Injury program, you are able to go back and reapply for more financial support as long as the total amount does not exceed the $2MM limit.
If you overestimate your costs and borrow more money than you need, there is no penalty for early repayment of the Economic Injury loan.
If you currently have a loan through the SBA, this will not affect your loan limit of $5MM. Regular SBA loans and the Economic Injury loans are funded separately from two different sources.
In the remote chance that your small business is not approved, the SBA is working with banking institutions to find other options to fund your operations to keep your doors open.
Deadline to apply is December 17, 2020.
If you have any questions, please call the SBA District Office at 702/388-3611. Please be patient as they are receiving a high volume of calls.
You can also call the Governor's Office of Economic Development at 702/486-2700.

President Donald Trump has released new guidelines for a science-based framework to reopen the American economy, formally known as Opening Up America Again. The guidelines are not mandatory and are set-out in an 18-page document.
The guidelines are based on up-to-date data and state readiness. The goal is to take a phased and deliberate approach to mitigate the risk of resurgence and protect vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. The guidelines are intended to be implementable on a statewide or county-by-county basis and include specific recommendations for individuals and employers. They suggest three phases for states to reopen, with progressively relaxed levels of social distancing. Each phase would require a 14-day period of a "downward trajectory" of cases to advance to the next one.

Click here to read more Brownstein alerts on the legal issues the coronavirus threat raises for businesses.
The coronavirus pandemic has taken a tremendous toll on the country, but the Nevada economy is being impacted in ways that we have never contemplated. Gov. Steve Sisolak has demonstrated strong leadership in the face of this unprecedented public health crisis, but he has been forced to make difficult decisions that impact all Nevadans. Most recently, on May 7, 2020, Gov. Sisolak announced that he will continue to ease restrictions previously put in place because of the pandemic and move into phase one of his reopening plan announced on April 30. This comes after he issued Emergency Directive #016 on April 29, extending the stay-at-home order and other previous directives.

As an increasing number of governors plan to reopen state economies, Congress is under pressure to pass a fourth stimulus package to help businesses and individuals navigate economic recovery. BHFS's weekly newsletter outlines the latest developments in Washington, including major tax, small business and financial services developments related to CARES 4.0 negotiations and newly-issued regulatory guidance from various agencies. Including:

The April 30 changes to the Federal Reserve's Main Street Lending Program (MSLP) broaden the Federal Reserve's backstop for loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), but also impose new non-credit-related restrictions on borrower eligibility. While these program changes may facilitate the provision of bridge loans to some businesses, the MSLP continues to be challenged by its structure (the intermediation role of private banks and credit unions) and by the increasing politicization of the government's COVID-19 recovery programs.
While businesses across the globe have yet to understand the full economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of emerging issues have already gained prominence. Among the biggest-and most likely to persist-is the issue of whether business interruption insurance (BII) covers lost income for businesses affected by the pandemic. This client alert provides an analysis of the ways in which this BII coverage issue is developing, including litigation, state legislation, state regulatory actions and federal legislation.
The CARES Act, which appropriated approximately $2 trillion to save the American economy, was written in just under a week, reflecting Congress's bipartisan urgency in mitigating COVID-19's economic toll on workers and businesses across the entire country. As one might expect, a fair amount of discretion has been left to agencies-especially the Small Business Administration, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve-to implement the law. Many businesses, from large-cap corporations with billions in revenue to Main Street operations with a handful of employees, are seeking certainty not only on when these programs will become available but on the contours of the programs, especially eligibility rules.

Many companies in the consumer credit industry have quickly responded to the coronavirus pandemic and its impact to their borrowers. As lenders, collectors and debt buyers think about how to provide meaningful relief while keeping their businesses afloat, they should keep in mind the following developments that have occurred at the state and federal levels over the past few weeks.
During this time, many businesses are wondering what their responsibilities are as the legal landscape is evolving based on new government mandates that are being put in place to protect consumer, employees and owners.
In the inaugural episode of Brownstein’s What’s Next Nevada, Brownstein Shareholders Mitch Langberg, Frank Flansburg and Recebba Miltenberger discuss how the COVID-19 crisis has triggered contract issues such as force majeure clauses and other challenges to performance, how that has impacted business over the last several months and what happens if contracting parties can’t reach agreement in dealing with these issues.
