Small Business Seminar: Employee Retention Credit Workshop
March 15th, 10 a.m.; Central Maryland Chamber Conference Room, Odenton
The Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) is a government sponsored program whereby eligible businesses impacted by COVID-19 can receive up to $26K per employee. If you had more than three W2 employees in 2020-2021, you may be eligible for a tax credit. Many business owners were incorrectly advised that they did not qualify based on a revenue decline test. However, we’ve found many do qualify based full or partial government mandated shutdowns, supply chain issues, inability to work with vendors, decrease in hours of operation, etc. Even if you did receive ERC, you may be eligible for additional funds.Please join this informative workshop for more information.About Our Speaker: Patrick Shurney of 3P Consulting helps business owners create consistent cash flow and increase net profits.
