Hey Small Business Owners...What are you doing to ride the storm out?

He is also indicating some apartment complex waived their rent for 4-months. How would they even survive? I'm not some big conglomerate corporation.

Also, when is this Govt payment going to be direct deposited? Do we have a firm date?

I haven't gotten the dreaded calls yet but I know they are coming. I plan to empathize with them. I will ask them how much they can pay now and the rest will be deferred until July to pay out over 6 months. Also I want some kind of documentation they are not working.
