(more) 28 years in  Yes the banking flipped and medical system flipped through all this. I will not however put anyone in a comprised situation. If a person lives with chronic diseases the people that don’t care here let’s hope one day you understand. I’m an advocate for Lyme. Sure covin doesn’t seem bad now to you    Just wait till you see what happens long term.  I’m upset that we had to shut but money is not worth lives. I’m I prepared he’ll no no one was. Will I make it yes. I wasn’t a fool who took the unemployment checks for me I put everyone in the business. Having tough times at home but I will be and stay open. Power of positive thinking.  Get your employees set up and ready to collect if we lock down again. We can only do our best now. It’s important for all extreme small businesses to have each other’s back.

(more) Hey Kristine not sure how you pay your overhead etc Did you shorten hours? Cut a day back can save electricity and more.  We closed one day more dropping electric by a substantial amount.  Im not making money for me as of now I was doing great before pandemic.  I put all my unemployment checks in biz to keep it going. The girls are good they are getting paid and we are making just making rent  we are all just getting by.  I would look at cost raise prices  a little many took huge jumps in prices that to played a role in loss of clients that lost  jobs.   I’ve been here 30 years 27 my biz it’s hard.  hang in there.     Keep positive is Texas offering grant money?  you can trace out to me privately if you would like.

I do not recommend it.  Ppp loan has no fine print in wording after reviewing all its set up to fail the very small business. I requested it several times the fine print   In our industry salon we have a busy and slow staff requirements are higher at peak season.  The loan calculations did not work for me. I was not given enough to cover payroll expenses let alone utilities and rent.   not only 25 percent can be used for rent utilities  Check the list of utilities ph is not included I believe.  The scariest is the loan agreement no rules on their end yet.  After reading business insider stating many would end up paying back, I refused loan.  I was approved second time but it’s not a stable loan. Beware and dig deep.

Laws have changed in Ma so it could hurt you. I would need more info are you self employed renting booth are you opening new salon ? So many questions around how to structure a company on how you are approaching it.  When I first started out I was there 24/7  27 years later we are here.  I had contracts and offered infinitives  They are commission or hourly base.  you have to offer something to your staff.  they can not be expected to work for nothing and that is what happened  in the chair rental part of this. Turnover is high. good luck more than willing to help you with more info.
