6 | Brooklyn | New York | From the FB page: "I decided to approach my real estate broker about asking my landlord for a 3-month emergency rent abatement. I positioned it as I can either pay my employees & support them through this short term crisis or I can pay rent & lay off every person on the team. I provided cancelled invoices as proof of the more than $50k in revenue that have been completely lost or delayed in only one week’s time. It looks like the strategy worked. I still have to pay the triple net portion of the lease but regular rent is suspended until July. I’d suggest trying this if you haven’t already. It’s a game changer on our short term cash flow dilemma & will allow us to keep our entire team, God willing" | Resources, how-to's for filing for unemployment: https://www.thebalancecareers.com/how-to-claim-unemployment-benefits-2058799 | Founders Group Call Sign-UP We're inviting all entrepreneurs to a group call to talk about any questions or concerns, as it may relate to your company going through these stressful times with the economy and market.
