Her local SBDC referred to COVID relief programs that she was eligible for, and she jumped at the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of Josh Daly, the Southern Region Director, and the RISBDC, Lindemann applied for the Rhode Island Small Business Relief Grant. She was accepted and received her check in May 2021. The RI Relief Grant provided much-needed funds, and it also allowed her to revisit her PPP loan application. Changes to the PPP application process enabled her to use her gross income versus her net profit to complete the PPP loan application with a local credit union. Lindemann was accepted for the PPP loan, clearing the way for her business to move in a positive direction as COVID-19 restrictions lift.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10271 alignleft\" style=\"font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;font-family: Charter, Georgia, serif;font-size: 20px\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/987\/Organizing-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"290\">\u201cThanks to these two programs I feel as though I\u2019ve turned the page and I\u2019m on my way to a profitable 2021,\u201d Lindemann commented about the RI Relief Grant and PPP loan. \u201cTo me, the loan and grant not only provide financial assistance but peace of mind.
