We even applied for an SBA loan and they didn't say anything was missing. It wasn't until we receive a late notice with a fine that we were aware of it not being finished. Then we saw a notice that it had to be submitted online. We are very sorry this is so late. Our organization is pure education and was completely shut down last March. The only activity we have been able to do last year was to sent food relief to Kenya when they shut down all the markets and people started starving. The SBA loan was hug in us making it through the year. |
