The Business Council of Alabama (BCA) will present the Small Business Exchange on Alabama Public Television (APT) tonight, Thursday, April 9.
This event, as previously reported by Yellowhammer News, is designed to help Alabama small businesses applying for federal stimulus funding under the new CARES Act.
BCA will bring together experts in business, banking, accounting and law to answer phone calls from Yellowhammer State business owners and employers as they grapple with the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the state’s economy.
New federal loans are now available for small businesses, but funding is limited in some cases and quick action is required to take full advantage.
“We have to make sure that Alabama’s small businesses get the loans and support they deserve in these tough economic times,” BCA president and CEO Katie Boyd Britt said in a statement. “These business owners need as much help as we can give them to work through the process. The first step in getting Alabama back to work is to get this loan money flowing to our businesses.”
The Small Business Exchange program will air Thursday on APT from 7:00-8:00 p.m. CT.
In total, the BCA experts will be available via telephone to answer questions from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. Thursday evening, as well as 9:00 a.m. to noon on Friday, April 10.
To ask a question or consult with the BCA experts during these times, call 1-833-BCA4BIZ (1-833-222-4249).
