A return of a strict quarantine would force 42% of surveyed entrepreneurs to close or severely restrict their businesses

A return of a strict quarantine would force 42% of surveyed entrepreneurs to close or severely restrict their businesses. A snap survey of 62 owners of small and medium sized businesses was completed Tuesday for the European Business Association. Of the group, only 11% had been able to obtain a loan through “Affordable Loans 5-7-9%”, a program started by the government last spring to help small businesses through the lockdown.
