Eligible for the Small Business Cash Flow Loan Scheme?
With the arrival of Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdown of NZ, business in many cases have been badly affected. The Government has instigated a number of schemes and activities to help alleviate the financial pressure on small businesses. One such scheme is the COVID-19 Small Business Cash Flow (Loan) Scheme.
The Scheme is targeted at organisations and small to medium businesses, including sole traders and the self-employed who have been adversely affected by COVID-19. If you employ 50 or fewer full-time-equivalent staff, you may be eligible for a one-off loan of up to $10,000 plus $1,800 per full-time-equivalent employee.
