Tips to keep you and your crew safe*

Unlike some jobs, where it's easy to work from home and keep business afloat, contractors need to be on job sites and bidding new business.

We know you can't move everything 100% online, but here are a few tips we recommend adhering to while continuing to support homeowners.

Go as virtual as possible.

  • Keep it to only necessary individuals on the job site.
  • Consistent with shelter-in-place orders, avoid unnecessary live meetings.
  • Don't let anyone on site without screening them for COVID symptoms.

Safety guidelines on the job.

  • Sanitize job sites at least once daily.
  • Stagger employee breaks.
  • Avoid the sharing of equipment and gear whenever possible; clean equipment whenever transitioning the operator.

Additional useful tips and tricks.

  • Split your crew into different groups, so that if someone gets sick, not everyone is compromised.
  • Develop exposure protocol.
  • Explore confidentiality and OHSA reporting to prepare if cases arise.

Navigating the SBA loan programs

There has been significant noise around what loan options are available for small businesses and and how to take advantage of them. We've compiled what you need to know in order to make the best decision for your business.

Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”)

The Payroll Protection Program is a new SBA program created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) that is designed to help small businesses with less than 500 employees maintain their payroll and business operations during the current economic crisis.

  • Max Loan Amount = 2.5x the Average Monthly Payroll, up to $10mm (payroll calculation requires any salary over $100k to be prorated).
  • Interest Rate for PPP is 1%, payment is deferred for the first six months.
  • Loan Term is 2 years.

Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”)

The SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan is an existing SBA loan program that is designed to provide economic relief to small businesses located in declared disaster zones that have suffered economic injuries related to the declared disaster.

  • Max Loan Amount is the amount of economic injury suffered by the business, up to $2mm.
  • Interest Rate for EIDL is 3.75%.
  • Loan Term varies on a case by case basis for up to 30 years.
