6.04 million US small businesses have employees, making up 99.7% of all US companies with paid employees.

1.68 million of those businesses were approved for Paycheck Protection Program loans, before the money ran out.

That’s 28% of small businesses, who can now keep their people employed (and out of the unemployment lines) for at least 8 more weeks.

72% of small businesses were unable to secure any assistance so far, including so many of our hard working clients and our own company: PCH Benefits.

We are seeing the vast majority of small business owners digging deep into their personal pockets, against all “sound business-judgement” in order to keep delivering paychecks and health insurance for so many of their employees; even while the company revenue has been crushed and most of the work has dried up.

Small businesses truly are the backbone of America, and we are so proud to work with so many great, generous and compassionate business owners. We are impressed by you, and we appreciate what you are doing for your employees and your community during these difficult times. Thank you, and we wish you and your business strength and good health.
