Marshall County businesses seek help from Paycheck Protection Program

Colbert county.

New details -- many businesses have applied and received money from the paycheck protection program or better known as p-p-p.

There is still some money left over.

Waay 31's sophia borrelli spoke with one marshall county business hoping to cash in on that money still left.

Sophia looklive: "true south boutique in guntersville is open now - but the owners say business is slow.

They say the money from a ppp loan from the government would help until business pick back up."

Micheal and michelle woodard are the owners of true south boutique.

When they first had to close their shop to customers - they didn't believe they qualified for the paycheck protection program.

Michael and michelle woodard, owners true south boutique: "in the beginning, there was so much confusion, i just didn't think we would, and didn't pursue it.

I only pursued the emergency loan money."

The owners say they talked with other small business owners and realized they may qualify for the ppp loan.

Michael and michelle woodard, owners true south boutique: "the money would mean a lot to us, so far we haven't gotten anything as far as any federal assistance, small businesses administration assistance."

They have advice for small business owners like themselves who may need some extra financial help during this difficult time.

Michael and michelle woodard, owners true south boutique: "i would encourage everyone to talk to their accountant.

Contact anyone you know in the small business administration or the local chambers of commerce and see what information you can get."
