500 employees is not a large company. Large companies have tens of thousands of employees.

See this is why this is all nonsense... because we are all arguing about the definitions of it and somehow someway someone will get fukd.
How about we scratch saving businesses completely? And just do individual payment plans based solely on income? Oh, that would ruin many businesses? Oh well, welcome to free market capitalism. Do you think the GOVt's mandate forced these business downturns or a health crisis that scared people from actually going anywhere?... interpretation interpretation there... Again, shady shady no matter how you spin it. |

I have friends in the liqour business that were hit by a 25% USA tariff... who is helping them? What saving is there for them? Now a lot of business of theirs is also compounded by Corona fears... they may be laid off in a month all while their businesses were dealing with everything at once and tried to help them... No assistance and the payouts are now gone. Where is the GOVT? Oh yea, go and fk yourself lol... this is ridiculous. |

Are you telling me that your friends in the liquor business didn't pass that cost right on to their consumer? If they didn't, why not? I am no expert on tariff's, but if the same product goes to a different liquor biz, they are hit with the tariff, too, right? End result is the consumer pays. That's how America works too, isn't it? Bottom line is nobody asked for this, and we need to get through it the best we ALL can. We can quibble on methods all we want while looking in the rear view mirror, but that does nobody any good. We are where we are, so let's make the best of it. |

Well I have four employees, including myself. And most of my friends who own small businesses also have under 50 people. This includes restaurants, medical offices, vape shops, contractors, lawyers, accountants, etc...So yeah, 500 people is a lot in my eyes.

Not sure, but I doubt any banks are taking applications they haven’t already received before more funding is approved. Probably best to call the bank and ask and keep an eye on the news ro get an app in ASAP if you need to wait for more funding to be approved.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm in Wellington so that's about a 35-40 minute ride. Plus I need to support my existing dentist.

I see that Shake Shack decided to return the $10M they got so more money can go to small struggling restaurants, nice move!
It makes no sense to have an earning cutoff for the personal stimulus money, do you really think someone who makes $100k has that much more savings than someone who makes $99k? Higher earners also tend to have higher expenses, it's not like they can just move somewhere cheaper that quickly. |

I think the better move was to never apply if you knew you didn't need it, or didn't think it was meant for you. That $10MM will probably now be lost in the system.

If this loan closed and they received the cash, it may just be a loan repayment now and not available for anyone else to borrow. It’s not really clear if it will be available for anyone else even though they said they are returning it to let someone else use it.
I actually don’t fault them for taking the money if they were allowed to do so. But returning it with an open letter that makes it sound like there were a couple of people agonizing over whether or not to apply and how to do it is disingenuous. The have teams of attorneys and bankers advising them. They made the decision to take it and then decided the PR backlash wasn’t worth it so they spun it. At the end of the day, it’s good the taxpayers got the money back, but not sure this really helps anyone except Shake Shake. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/shake...randy-garutti/
