“After careful review of the PPP loan requirements and how they impact our clients, the Sikich CARES Act taskforce identified an opportunity for a specific client with a diverse business model, in which a portion of their company met the PPP eligibility requirements. This client, under our direction, secured a multi-million dollar loan to assist them in continuing their business operations and maintaining their labor force within that division. In my opinion, this was a major tribute to our team of advisors, who studied and learned this Act on behalf of our clients.”
