Seek Capital was founded in 2014 with a commitment to helping small businesses achieve their dreams by providing the funding they need to get their business off the ground.
Employee Retention Credit
The ERC is a tax credit that was included in last year’s Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act as a way to help small businesses survive the economic downtown and keep their workers employed. With the ERC, businesses can either get reductions in federal employment tax deposits, or request tax-credit advances for amounts that aren’t taken care of by the deposit reductions.
If you’re not familiar with the employee retention credit, you’re not alone. The ERC has received much less attention than other COVID relief programs, such as the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan, because the ERC initially included restrictions that disqualified many small businesses.
Fortunately, many federal stimulus programs have greatly expanded the number of businesses that can claim the credit, while also increasing the amount of money that can be claimed. Among the most important changes was that PPP loan recipients can now also apply for the ERC.
Food & Beverage Grant
The American Rescue Plan Act established the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) to provide funding to help restaurants and other eligible businesses keep their doors open. This program will provide restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location. Recipients are not required to repay the funding as long as funds are used for eligible uses no later than March 11, 2023.
Eligible entities who have experienced pandemic-related revenue loss include:
- Restaurants
- Food stands, food trucks, food carts
- Caterers
- Bars, saloons, lounges, taverns
- Snack and nonalcoholic beverage bars
- Bakeries (onsite sales to the public comprise at least 33% of gross receipts)
- Brewpubs, tasting rooms, taprooms (onsite sales to the public comprise at least 33% of gross receipts)
- Breweries and/or microbreweries (onsite sales to the public comprise at least 33% of gross receipts)
- Wineries and distilleries (onsite sales to the public comprise at least 33% of gross receipts)
- Inns (onsite sales of food and beverage to the public comprise at least 33% of gross receipts)
- Licensed facilities or premises of a beverage alcohol producer where the public may taste, sample, or purchase products
Live Venues Grant
The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program was established by the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, and amended by the American Rescue Plan Act. The program includes over $16 billion in grants to shuttered venues, to be administered by SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance.
Eligible applicants may qualify for grants equal to 45% of their gross earned revenue, with the maximum amount available for a single grant award of $10 million. $2 billion is reserved for eligible applications with up to 50 full-time employees.
Eligible entities include:
- Live venue operators or promoters
- Theatrical producers
- Live performing arts organization operators
- Museum operators
- Motion picture theater operators (including owners)
- Talent representatives
Other requirements of note:
- Must have been in operation as of February 29, 2020
- Venue or promoter who received a PPP loan on or after December 27, 2020, will have the SVOG reduced by the PPP loan amount

The loans can help you meet financial obligations and operating expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred.
- Up to $500,000
- 3.75% fixed interest for businesses
- 2.75% fixed interest for non-profits
