Corona aid fund: interest-free loan to help businesses
The COVID-19 pandemic has plunged the world into an unprecedented crisis. Particularly hard hit are businesses that have seen massive sales losses due to closures and retrenchments. In many cases, the financial impact is so severe that businesses are threatened with closure. To help these businesses, the government has established a Corona Aid Fund. One of the building blocks of this fund is the interest-free loan.
The interest-free loan is one way for businesses to receive financial support during this difficult time. Unlike other loans, this does not accrue interest, which makes repayment much easier. The loan can help businesses pay for ongoing costs such as rent, salaries, and supplies. However, it is important to note that the loan must be repaid.
