While COVID-19 has no doubt made life miserable for many small and medium-sized businesses, some of the issues exacerbated by the pandemic were already challenging some companies. Inconsistent demand for products, services, and shortages of labor and supplies are problematic in any economy, and threaten the long-term prospects of any commercial organization.

Owning and running a business is more than a full-time job. There’s the day-to-day, customer-focused tasks that need doing, dealing with creditors, juggling suppliers, attending to employees, and the ever-present weight of meeting the next payroll. Competitors can seem like sharks circling blood in the water.

While government programs like PPP (Payroll Protection Programs) and EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loans) provided short-term relief during COVID, they also came with some long-term, repayment obligations many companies were unprepared for. Other businesses took out high-risk, merchant cash advance (“MCA”) loans to weather the storm and were surprised by the difficulty paying back the high interest money.
