The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers a list of corona virus relief options. 

PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

The Paycheck Protection Program provides $349 billion in forgivable loans to help small businesses stay afloat during the COVID-19 crisis. You have to check with your local bank or credit union for this loan most banks have a link and make it possible to apply online once login from the business bank account. Funds are expected to run out fast as soon as 10-15 days so businesses have to apply as soon as possible. If your local bank turns you away because they are overwhelmed with applications you can also apply with Quickbooks or other banks. 

What Businesses Qualify?
Small businesses and nonprofits with 500 or fewer employees can apply for loans through the Paycheck Protection Program—that includes sole proprietors and independent contractors. Small businesses in the hotel and food service industries, and that are franchises according to the SBA’s guidelines, may qualify if they have no more than 500 employees. One loan will be granted per business, and a taxpayer identification number is required to apply.
