Overview:
Designed to provide support for businesses having difficulties obtaining sufficient debt financing during today’s market situations, the US Federal Reserve established the Main Street Lending Program in March 2020. The program promised several opportunities especially for businesses that are too large for the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program. However, a myriad of legal issues must still be considered thoroughly by companies who plan to register. Having a thorough understanding of its legal requirements and provisions is essential to ensure sound compliance and avoid pitfalls.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group as they provide the audience with a comprehensive discussion of the US Federal Reserve’s Main Street Lending Program. Speakers will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of legal issues and will offer practical tips in maximizing opportunities while mitigating risks.
