SALT LAKE CITY As pandemic relief for small businesses slows and programs like the Paycheck Protection Program and the Restaurant Revitalization Fund come to an end, the Utah Small Business Administration wants to remind business owners that the programs that are still available.
The PPP, an SBA-backed loan program established by the federal CARES Act that helped businesses keep their workforce employed during the COVID-19 crisis, expired at the end of May. The RRF, a program that gave economic aid to restaurants struggling to pay rent or pay employees because of the pandemic, ended July 2, and the application platform will officially be disabled on July 14.
