Portland Oregon Small Business Resource List for the Pandemic

Covid 19 Response

It is hard to keep track of all of the important Loan and Grant information and new essential laws. So here is the list of resources I have been putting together to help small businesses around the Portland, Oregon. 
 
Loans and Grants
Check out the Pay Check Protection Loan. This is the loan that will be forgiven if you spend the money on qualifying expenses. Payroll, rent, etc. To apply, you will have to work with your bank. Most banks should have the application ready in the next few business days.

Here is a helpful loan calculator and more tax information thanks to BGO CPAs:

You should also look in SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan.
