The Small Business Owner’s Guide to the CARES Act The programs and initiatives in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that was just passed by Congress are intended to assist business owners with whatever needs they have right now. When implemented, there will be many new resources available for small businesses, as well as certain non- profits and other employers. This guide provides information about the major programs and initiatives that will soon be available from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to address these needs, as well as some additional tax provisions that are outside the scope of SBA. To keep up to date on when these programs become available, please stay in contact with your local Small Business Administration (SBA) District Office, which you can locate here. Struggling to get started? The following questions might help point you in the right direction. Do you need: • Capital to cover the cost of retaining employees? Then the Paycheck Protection Program might be right for you. • A quick infusion of a smaller amount of cash to cover you right now? You might want to look into an Emergency Economic Injury Grant. • To ease your fears about keeping up with payments on your current or potential SBA loan? The Small Business Debt Relief Program could help. • Just some quality, free counseling to help you navigate this uncertain economic time? The resource partners might be your best bet. Already know what resources you’re Table of Contents Paycheck Protection Program Loans 2 looking for? The table of contents can direct you to more information about Small Business Debt Relief Program 6 the program or assistance product you Economic Injury Disaster Loans and 7 need. Emergency Economic Injury Grants Small Business Counseling 9 Small Business Contracting 10 Small Business Tax Provisions 11 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans The program would provide cash-flow assistance through 100 percent federally guaranteed loans to employers who maintain their payroll during this emergency. If employers maintain their payroll, the loans would be forgiven, which would help workers remain employed, as well as help affected small businesses and our economy snap-back quicker after the crisis. PPP has a host of attractive features, such as forgiveness of up to 8 weeks of payroll based on employee retention and salary levels, no SBA fees, and at least six months of deferral with maximum deferrals of up to a year. Small businesses and other eligible entities will be able to apply if they were harmed by COVID-19 between February 15, 2020 and June 30, 2020. This program would be retroactive to February 15, 2020, in order to help bring workers who may have already been laid off back onto payrolls. Loans are available through June 30, 2020. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS QUESTION: What types of businesses and entities are eligible for a PPP loan? Answer: • Businesses and entities must have been in operation on February 15, 2020. • Small business concerns, as well as any business concern, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, a 501(c)(19) veterans organization, or Tribal business concern described in section 31(b)(2)(C) that has fewer than 500 employees, or the applicable size standard in number of employees for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industry as provided by SBA, if higher. • Individuals who operate a sole proprietorship or as an independent contractor and eligible self-employed individuals. • Any business concern that employs not more than 500 employees per physical location of the business concern and that is assigned a NAICS code beginning with 72, for which the affiliation rules are waived. • Affiliation rules are also waived for any business concern operating as a franchise that is assigned a franchise identifier code by the Administration, and company that receives funding through a Small Business Investment Company. QUESTION: What are affiliation rules? Answer: Affiliation rules become important when SBA is deciding whether a business’s affiliations preclude them from being considered “small.” Generally, affiliation exists when one business controls or has the power to control another or when a third party (or parties) controls or has the power to control both businesses. Please see this resource for more on these rules and how they can impact your business’s eligibility. QUESTION: What types of non-profits are eligible? Answer: In general, 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(19) non-profits with 500 employees or fewer as most non- profit SBA size standards are based on revenue, not employee number. You can check here. 2 FAQ’s continue on the next page! QUESTION: How is the loan size determined? Answer: Depending on your business’s situation, the loan size will be calculated in different ways (see below).

  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.

  • Alaska Railroad Suspends Aurora Winter Train Through April 30 Safety
    News Release DATE: March 17, 2020 CONTACT: Tim Sullivan, 265-2357, 907-223-7372 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Alaska Railroad Suspends Aurora Winter Train through April 30 Safety of passengers and crew is railroad’s highest priority ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Taking a cue from recent directives from national and international health agencies regarding the COVID-19 virus, the Alaska Railroad (ARRC) is suspending regularly scheduled Aurora Winter Train passenger service between Anchorage and Fairbanks starting March 19 and continuing through April 30. The Alaska Railroad will provide passenger service to the roadless area between Talkeetna and Hurricane via the Hurricane Turn Train on Thursday, April 2. “With recent notifications that groupings of 10 or more people are discouraged to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 we felt it prudent to suspend our Aurora Trains for the next six weeks for the safety of our passengers, crew, and our community,” said ARRC President and CEO Bill O’Leary. “We recognize that this could be a significant inconvenience for many people, particularly those who have no other way to access their homes and properties along the rail belt, so we will still operate a limited service Hurricane Turn Train, as scheduled, for April 2 to make sure they are not stranded.” This suspension will affect nine Aurora Winter Train round-trips. Freight service is not affected. Passenger service personnel are reaching out to notify and refund all passengers and tour operators with bookings on suspended trains. ARRC will regularly evaluate passenger service during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the coming weeks, the ARRC will continue to work closely with the governor’s office and federal agencies in anticipation of the safe resumption of full passenger operations.
