Your business could very well be eligible for COVID-19 relief funding. View our recent COVID-19 Relief Updates blog post to understand the latest round of revisions to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, and the New York Forward Loan Fund (NYFLF) program.
Pace SBDC advisor Sandra Cely provided guidance to NAME GLO co-founders on applying for COVID-19 small-biz financial assistance. Read about how they secured PPP and EIDL funds totaling $200k, retained eight jobs, and also worked with students from one of Pace's Lubin School of Business consumer behavior classes to analyze the brand's consumers as well as obtain marketing insights.
On February 4, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will cover trademark basics. On February 9, the City Bar Justice Center will explain how to choose a business structure when forming your company. On February 22, the Pace SBDC will partner with the US Small Business Administration's NY District Office to review taxes and the Pandemic Cares Act in a session co-moderated by Lubin Professor of Accounting Steven Mezzio.
