The next episode of Fundbox Forward is out, and it features an amazing customer, chocolatier Endorfin Foods, and how they've managed through the unexpected journey that has been 2020. If you want a story about resilience, look no further. https://t.co/zRCtzopSyy

@epipheo @fundbox You did great work for us, @epipheo team!

Sometimes, we really need to help the audience understand a high-level value.
Sometimes, we really need to help the audience understand how it works.
Sometimes, we get greedy and do both.

Thank you for the support, @drquickbooks ! #paytoday is just as relevant now as it was at the start of COVID-19.

I paid my #1099 #contractors three days after being paid by my client. I ask other #smallbusiness owners & #consumers to prioritize paying outstanding #SMB invoices. #smallbusinesses are owed $900B for services already delivered. Join me in #paytoday. @NFIB @SBAgov @marcorubio

@Millerjcpa @mcuban Hey @Millerjcpa, you're right, it is confusing. We just wrote an article about this very topic to help our customers, but it could help you too: https://t.co/ZJBNnMyVjJ

DM me if you have any specific questions.

[Greg Powell @wgpowell]

As #smallbusiness shifts from applying for PPP loans to applying for PPP forgiveness, a new set of challenges begins. We wrote an article to help, and our podcast will follow soon.

I love the @Cafe641 story. Chad and his team had to shut down temporarily while MA has been sheltering-in-place. But they didn't sit on their hands and wait. They pivoted. Now they're making meals for first responders. Bravo! #feedingthefrontlines

[Greg Powell @wgpowell]

For businesses getting ready to reopen, there are things you can do now to prepare. For starters, make sure your customers know you're reopening! More ideas in our recent blog article: https://t.co/aFwBO0TO0D #smallbusinesstips @fundbox

[Greg Powell @wgpowell]

So glad we could help you, Chad! @Cafe641

This was a great @Entrepreneur article on what recovery could look like for different types of #smallbusiness : V-shaped, U-shaped, or L-shaped curves.

Thank you Congressman @RepGregoryMeeks for helping spread the word! Unpaid invoices are an ongoing issue for #smallbusiness . The stimulus is helping but won't reach all deserving businesses. #paytoday

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

Yes, it is important large corporations pay their invoices as soon as possible to our small businesses!

[Greg Powell @wgpowell]

.@SBAgov published data on PPP loans funded so far.
- Avg loan size $206k
- Construction and Professional Svcs received most funding.
- Largest lender has only originated $14b. I say "only" because I was expecting to see more concentration with top banks.

I love this example of a #smallbusiness getting creative during quarantine. It plays to their strength of having real people make real connections through book recommendations. I'm going to see what they say I should read next.

[Greg Powell @wgpowell]

Everything we've heard suggests EIDL has run out of funds. @KarenGMills is spot on that it needs an infusion now. These funds come directly from @SBAgov and arrive within 3 days. Timing is critical for #SmallBusiness right now.

[Karen Mills @KarenGMills]

And we need $50B more for #SBA #EIDL funds to provide $10K grants to the smallest businesses that #banks don't reach - #MainStreet shops and sole proprietorships. We cannot let any #smallbiz slip through the cracks.

[Greg Powell @wgpowell]

Thank you @CNN and @jjsahadi for raising the visibility of the #paytoday campaign in this article. We've seen a big uptick in pledges since it went live. https://t.co/pp3Hifsxwd
