The deadline to apply for the Cares Act Payroll Protection Program has been extended. Take a look here for details. That’s a link to the SBA. I have heard of pretty good and quick success applying through smaller institutions rather than larger banks. The larger banks seem to have too much infrastructure for this quick nimble process. …
