Hundreds of companies employing 23,400 people went Bankrupt after PPP Funds Ran Out.
The total number of companies that failed despite getting PPP loans is likely far higher. The Journal only analyzed the big borrowers from the program, which accounted for about half of the overall loans though only about 13.5% of the total participants. And many small businesses simply liquidate when they run out of cash rather than file for bankruptcy.
The SBA has only released data on the largest borrowers, which the Journal linked to bankruptcy filings.
About $525 billion in loans were distributed to over 5 million companies between April 3 and Aug. 8.
At least 285 medium-sized companies went under. Undoubtedly thousands of smaller companies did as well.
PPP Program Fatally Flawed
I never understood giving money to corporations so they could pay workers.
and they want to shut the country down for 3 more months
Leighton and fager made it. Others..well…dough roller WOC one of the first. Anthonys and BJs selling.. lots of changes to come. One thing for sure, smiling Rickie Beerinhan with his black underarmour tight tee shirts!
Just SMART Business !!!
But Pelosi’s husbands business was given PPP funds along with George Soro’s companies. Lots of small businesses were denied any money. Now this shows you what is wrong with our country.
