Small Business Administration offering relief fund grants, tax credits for restaurants

As restaurants have struggled to stay afloat during the pandemic, there is another wave of financial assistance incoming.

Businesses can also take advantage of the employee retention credit, which gives eligible businesses a refundable tax credit up to $5,000. BPM’s Brett Hazlett explains, however, that some California restaurants may not be aware of the retention credit and are thus missing out on a potentially huge financial relief option, something Brett calls “a pretty big advantage.”
