CARES Act funds a challenge for Atlanta small businesses

Adding to the dysfunction: the money was supposed to be distributed by Dec. 31, after which the federal government required unused funds to be sent back to the treasury. With just days left on the 2020 calendar, county leaders were scrambling with several million dollars still unspent.

DeKalb County Chief Operating Officer Zach Williams recently told commissioners that only about $5 million of the $15 million DeKalb planned for small businesses had been allocated. He said officials were working to allot the money as quickly as possible, but “there will be remaining funds in that category.”

A $900 billion relief bill Congress passed earlier this week that is awaiting President Trump’s signature could relieve that pressure. The legislation ads millions more to the original $650 billion federal Paycheck Protection Program — the umbrella for CARES Act small business funding — and extends the deadline for a year.

“If that money is available and I can apply and get it by February, that could keep me going until we move past the virus,” Sambdman said of the new funding.

The Roof Top at Ponce City Market is continuing to operate through the pandemic, in part with help from the CARES Act programs, Wednesday, Dec 23, 2020. The owner has been able to keep approximately 200 salary employees paid and working, while also filing unemployment for the hourly employees that had to be let go.

In addition to a confusing application process and a lumbering reaction from county and city leaders, some business owners say they ran into roadblocks with banks, especially the larger institutions that they say weren’t as interested in helping small businesses with four or five employees.

“I think the small community banks really rose up to help the small businesses,” said Pat Kaemmerling, chief financial officer for Peachtree Corners-based Ultimate Security Solutions, which has four employees.

Kaemmerling sought help from Iberiabank, whose Gwinnett location walked her through the application process.

“It’s just an entirely different environment,” she said of the help she received.

Caric Martin, senior vice president with Vinings Bank in Cobb County, said smaller institutions recognized the complexity of navigating the system. To receive the money, applicants had to produce articles of incorporation, show proof of corporate officers and provide cash flow statement or other documents.

Survival from month to month was the objective, not producing mountains of paperwork that proved the businesses were in good standing, he said.

“The bigger the business, the more likely they were to have a financial professional on staff, like a comptroller or somebody of that nature who could produce the documentation quickly,” he said. “Whereas a very small businessman, they were focused on just making sales everyday and getting revenue in.

“The paperwork is kind of the last thing they think about.”

The clock is ticking

Leaders of metro Atlanta’s largest counties said the undertaking was daunting and one they were still trying to process at the end of the year.

Cobb County, for instance, had about $48 million allocated for small business help, but still had as much as $14.5 million left as of Dec. 8, records show. Around 3,717 small businesses had been approved at that time.

But Dana Johnson, chief operating officer of the Cobb Chamber, said he was confident the money will get to those in need.

“Initial 50% grant distributions have already occurred,” Johnson said in an email. “Final 50% grant distributions will occur before Christmas.”

DeKalb, which had about $15 million allocated for business support spending, struggled to distribute funds to those seeking help. The county tapped Citizens Trust Bank to administer $10 million of the funding, but as of late December still did not have a second financial institution to disperse the other $5 million.

Gwinnett distributed about $22 million of the $35 million it has set aside for small businesses as of mid-December. The county also has granted about half of its $6.3 million in funds reserved for non-profits.

Invest Atlanta hired extra staff who have been working weekends to roll out as much as $18.5 million for small businesses in the city, distributing about $13.3 million as of late December.

The organization, the economic development arm of the city, normally does about 30 or so small business loans a year, but is working on more than 550, said Matt Fogt, Invest Atlanta’s spokesman.

“There is quite a bit of work right now to ensure all the available dollars go to businesses,” Fogt said.

Getting it right will be crucial to the survival of many small businesses, said Nathan Humphrey, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business.

He said a national survey of small businesses found 47% of owners don’t expect revenues to return to normal until sometime next year. About 36% of business owners said revenue won’t return to normal until 2022, Humphrey said.

“Over half of our clients say that they need another round of help,” he said.

And it’s not just the federal government who will need to play a role, Georgia Restaurant Association leaders said. The group is reaching out to local government leaders to ask for delayed fees for liquor licenses.

David Hailey said his Atlanta-based business Countalytics was having a pretty good year until the pandemic hit. The four-person asset management company, which he launched in 2018, had two airline clients that accounted for the majority of its’ revenue.

That work was wiped out overnight, he said.

“We were comfortable,” he said. “We were working on something big and we had planned on that helping us grow. Then COVID hit and that was gone in a second.

Hailey’s business eventually received a $15,000 from the program, but applying for the money was a challenge, he said.

“There was a lot of information out there, but not a lot of verified information,” he said.

Gwinnett and Fulton — and the city of Atlanta earmarked more .nthan $125 million from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act passed earlier this year to help small businesses.nBut administration of the funds has been uneven, with a frustrating application process that.nkept changing as the federal government frequently massaged requirements.nIn addition to a confusing application process and a lumbering reaction from county and city leaders, some business owners say they ran into roadblocks with banks.n especially the larger institutions that they say weren’t as interested in helping small businesses with four or five employees.nAdding to the dysfunction: the money was supposed to be distributed by Dec. 31, after which the federal government required unused funds to be sent back to the treasury.nWith just days left on the 2020 calendar, county leaders were scrambling with several million dollars still unspent.nLeaders of metro Atlanta’s largest counties said the undertaking was daunting and one they were still trying to process at the end of the year","credits":,"taxonomy":{"tags":["text":"rct-video","text":"rct-video-an"],"primary_site":"_id":"/life","type":"site","version":"0.5.8","name":"Life","description":"Atlanta living and lifestyle

As a reporter, Ben is interested in how governments work — and the people/structures that make governments fail. Don't assume he knows something and is choosing not to report on it, instead send him an email. Ben could use your help making sense of this confusing world, and without your help will default to a mix of seeking context and eating too many boiled peanuts. Ben's strongest opinions revolve around food, comedy and music. You can find most of what you need to know about Ben in his first two CD purchases: The 2002 Spider-Man soundtrack and T.I.'s sophomore album "Trap Muzik" in 2003.","twitter":"https://twitter.com/ben_brasch","custom_ajc_phone":"404-526-2175","books":[],"podcasts":[],"education":["name":"University of Florida, Journalism"],"awards":[],"last_updated_date":"2020-11-03T14:43:47.222Z","expertise":"10, 11, 20, 21","image":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/arc-authors/ajc/110d49bf-f7ec-4c71-aa94-188bb577fdfb.png","beat":"Fulton County government","author_type":"Staff","type":"author","bio_page":"/staff/ben-brasch/"]},"subtype":"Article","first_publish_date":"2020-12-24T18:03:11.483Z","websites":{"ajc":{"website_section":"_id":"/news/atlanta-news","_website":"ajc","type":"section","version":"0.6.0","name":"Local News","description":"Atlanta Georgia city and county news, as well as Georgia state and regional news at ajc.com","path":"/news/atlanta-news","parent_id":"/news","parent":"default":"/news","additional_properties":"original":"_id":"/news/atlanta-news","site":"section_comments_enabled":"Yes","site_description":"Atlanta Georgia city and county news, as well as Georgia state and regional news at ajc.com","site_title":"Atlanta Local News","navigation":"nav_title":"Local News","Sponsor":"sponsor_desktop_banner":"","sponsor_mobile_banner":"","sponsor_url":"","sponsor_url_open_new_tab":"true","_website":"ajc","name":"Local News","order":"TopNav":2002,"default":2004,"ComposerNav":1103,"TopNavRedesign":2004,"parent":"default":"/news","ComposerNav":"https://www.ajc.com/","TopNav":"/news","BottomNav":null,"TopNavRedesign":"/news","ancestors":"TopNav":["/news"],"TopNavRedesign":["https://www.ajc.com/","/news"],"inactive":false,"node_type":"section","_website_section_id":"ajc./news/atlanta-news","website_url":"/news/atlanta-news/youths-continue-holiday-cheer-tradition-at-childrens-healthcare/AKKLLNCQHZHJLKTIPPI7XOQM6M/"}},"additional_properties":"clipboard":,"has_published_copy":true,"is_published":true,"publish_date":"2020-12-24T22:06:34.644Z","publish_date":"2020-12-24T22:06:34.644Z","slug":"AAJC 122520 LNX holiday cheer","publishing":"scheduled_operations":"publish_edition":[],"unpublish_edition":[],"_id":"AKKLLNCQHZHJLKTIPPI7XOQM6M","website":"ajc","website_url":"/news/atlanta-news/youths-continue-holiday-cheer-tradition-at-childrens-healthcare/AKKLLNCQHZHJLKTIPPI7XOQM6M/"},{"type":"story","version":"0.10.6","content_elements":["_id":"2ZKK4H7N4VEATN5KCSKOF3F6GM","type":"text","additional_properties":"_id":1593365046971,"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"content":"If 2020 were a typical year, John Sambdman’s fleet of airport shuttles, school buses and luxury tour coaches would have pulled in $8 million.","_id":"DOBJPWJSJJE7DJJ7U5XMAYIZ3U","type":"text","additional_properties":"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1608732407252,"content":"But with school trips cancelled, air travel struggling and metro Atlantans sticking close to home — all because of the coronavirus — he’ll be lucky if his Samson Tours clears one-fifth of his usual annual revenue.","_id":"PZWPTTMBJ5C3LFWANK3OORBSWU","type":"text","additional_properties":"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1608732407253,"content":"“Everybody just cancelled,” Sambdman says of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in scheduled bookings his South Fulton company lost after the state and nation shut down in late March. “They just turned it off like they do a spigot.”","_id":"FUSRNTXZLFHYLI4UECSET7KWAI","type":"text","additional_properties":"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1608750616565,"content":"Metro Atlanta’s four biggest counties — Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Fulton — and the city of Atlanta earmarked more than $125 million from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act passed earlier this year to help small businesses.","_id":"RPNUDVYPMNEGFAGYM5M2BSN7RQ","type":"text","additional_properties":"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1608750616566,"content":"But administration of the funds has been uneven, business leaders and recipients say, with a frustrating application process that kept changing as the federal government frequently massaged requirements.","_id":"3OEEHEBPJFCXNCMLF47G6YI6GQ","type":"text","additional_properties":"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1608753963425,"content":"Adding to the dysfunction: the money was supposed to be distributed by Dec. 31, after which the federal government required unused funds to be sent back to the treasury.

From there, he would build upon his reputation as a thoughtful jurist and an outspoken advocate for domestic violence victims.nHe served as chairman of the DeKalb County Task Force Against Domestic Violence and then the Georgia Commission on Family Violence.nSeeliger’s most high-profile case ended with him having effectively prevented officials from ramming a four-lane parkway through several Atlanta and DeKalb County neighborhoods.nA much shorter stretch of highway, now known as the John R. Lewis Freedom Parkway, was the result.nAnd earlier this year, as the coronavirus pandemic and protests over systemic racism and police violence raged, a new case landed in Seeliger’s court.nSeeliger would issue the order allowing a long-standing Confederate monument to be removed from its perch on the Decatur square.n“He’s leaving just like he came in,” said Davis Johnson, the county commissioner who worked on Seeliger’s original judicial campaign. “Making a change.”","credits":,"taxonomy":"tags":["text":"rct-video","text":"rct-video-an"],"primary_site":"type":"site","_id":"/life","version":"0.5.8","name":"Life","path":"/life","primary":true,"sites":["type":"site","_id":"/life","version":"0.5.8","name":"Life","path":"/life","primary":true],"primary_section":"type":"section","_id":"/life","_website":"ajc","version":"0.6.0","name":"Life","path":"/life","primary":true,"sections":["type":"section","_id":"/life","_website":"ajc","version":"0.6.0","name":"Life","path":"/life","primary":true],"seo_keywords":["rct-video","rct-video-an"],"promo_items":"basic":"type":"image","version":"0.5.8","credits":,"url":"https://d1fegwn2wjh0cs.cloudfront.net/12-23-2020/t_41a8912cf98a4282ad26635ff0f8b814_name_32da5bc617ea4af3ae7f5a4aff81c7f2.jpg","related_content":"redirect":[],"basic":[],"planning":"scheduling":,"revision":"published":true,"syndication":"search":false,"source":"source_id":"b6a987e052e6d42af80f81c83c5331a99","system":"Wibbitz Videos","edit_url":"https://ajc.arcpublishing.com/goldfish/video/5fe3b5aac9e77c00018d3027","distributor":"mode":"reference","reference_id":"c64b6e89-2a90-48f5-9749-8efd44b05d77","tracking":"in_url_headline":"dekalb-county-judge-clarence-seeliger-retiring-after-40-year-career","additional_properties":"subsection":"Life","videoCategory":"wibbitz","anglerfishArcId":"JDQYBAPEZZDN7IHQJEFYLY7AAU","isWire":false,"gifAsThumbnail":false,"JDQYBAPEZZDN7IHQJEFYLY7AAU":"12-23-2020/t_41a8912cf98a4282ad26635ff0f8b814_name_32da5bc617ea4af3ae7f5a4aff81c7f2.jpg","videoId":"5fe3b5aac9e77c00018d3027","vertical":false,"embedContinuousPlay":true,"published":true,"imageResizerUrls":[],"advertising":"allowPrerollOnDomain":false,"autoPlayPreroll":false,"enableAdInsertion":false,"enableAutoPreview":false,"enableServerSideFallback":false,"forceAd":false,"playAds":false,"playVideoAds":true,"videoAdZone":"wpni.video.oodef","disableUpNext":false,"videoAdZone":"wpni.video.oodef","permalinkUrl":"/life/dekalb-county-judge-clarence-seeliger-retiring-after-40-year-career/JHBE6FTYNSDPLHVDV7ONU5Y3KI/","platform":"desktop","sha1":"6c6253c221792cb78c03294f29057f3fd673fc35","playVideoAds":true,"playlist":"/life","forceClosedCaptionsOn":false,"doNotShowTranscripts":false,"useVariants":false,"has_published_copy":true,"playlistTags":["/life"],"duration":94524,"video_type":"clip","streams":["height":540,"width":960,"filesize":19586780,"stream_type":"ts","url":"https://d189dz6wvushk1.cloudfront.net/wp-ajc/20201223/5fe3b5aac9e77c00018d3027/t_6ba23d3881ef4d2ebf27230382cc8c42_name_5364cf6843a84b4eaa520da1cd463f5a/master.m3u8","bitrate":1500,"provider":"mediaconvert"],"subtitles":,"promo_image":"type":"image","version":"0.5.8","credits":,"url":"https://d1fegwn2wjh0cs.cloudfront.net/12-23-2020/t_41a8912cf98a4282ad26635ff0f8b814_name_32da5bc617ea4af3ae7f5a4aff81c7f2.jpg","embed_html":"
