Start Small Think Big is a 501(c)(3) non-profit linking small businesses with pro-bono lawyers
The federal government is days away from passing new funding for PPP and EIDL. In order to put themselves in the best position possible, business owners should prepare all of the necessary documents ahead of time in order to be early in line when the new loans + grants are available.
The Grand Street BID is partnering with Start Small Think Big, a registered non-profit, to offer significant free legal and financial assistance to Grand Street businesses in light of COVID-19. This is essential because many of the small businesses who were denied PPP money had incomplete applications. Large companies had an advantage by having a lawyer or accountant already on staff.
Small business owners whose businesses are suffering due to COVID-19 and shutdowns can request specific legal, financial, and loan/grant related assistance through a simple Request for Assistance Form. All of our businesses are invited to apply.
The advice will come from attorneys or bankers volunteering working pro-bono hours to help small businesses. You can get help with the following questions:
Guidance in applying for federal aid.
Advice in deciding which programs are right for your business.
Assistance filling out applications.
Answering legal questions related to COVID such as:
Employment law
Commercial leasing
Debt negotiation
Corporate governance
