The economic distress caused by COVID-19 is causing many small businesses to falter and fail. Are you prepared for the coming wave of bankruptcy filings that will soon be hitting creditors? Small business bankruptcies will not only hurt lenders but also landlords and other trade vendors. Because of the temporary increase in the debt ceiling limit, there is an anticipated surge in these cases between now and March 2021.
Join us for a program where we will discuss, among other topics:
