Unpacking the Latest Round of COVID Funding — It’s Impact to the Electronic Security and Life Safety Industry
The latest coronavirus relief bill included a provision that expands deductible expenses and revives the PPP with a fresh round of $284 billion in funding. This timely development also overrides previous guidance from the IRS and Treasury last year, which said PPP loan forgiveness could not be deducted. So, what else is in the new funding package and how do these developments impact businesses like yours? In this webinar, presented by ESA’s Executive Management Professionals Group, industry financial expert Mitch Reitman will walk through this all — with an opportunity to get your questions answered.
Throughout the COVID pandemic, ESA also offered FREE CEU courses, training gift cards and free sales training through its partner Braveheart Sales, to support members and the industry.
