Thank you 👍🏽

The problem is not the EU or the Euro per se. The major problem is that governments across Europe stifle innovation. Aside from the UK where there is some semblance of a high-tech industry there is none on the continent, despite a small concentration of software related businesses in the Netherlands. Until major concerns become truly public and funds for investment released from the grip of small family controlled entities, the best and brightest from France, Germany and England, not to mention the less prosperous countries will continue to leave for America (recent immigration restrictions aside). From personal experience many EU technology initiatives are fraught with bureaucratic potholes while providing gravy for well oiled consultancies who nevertheless know how to mine the process more for gain than innovation.

Thanks, William

For sure, a vaccine and viable treatment therapy is what is needed.

Hi Dan,

Seems that you can. Below is another FAQ source that addresses your question.

Q)Can you hire additional employees during the 8-week covered period (period you have to use the funds once you receive the loan)?

A)Yes, you can hire additional employees during the 8-week covered period and any eligible payroll costs associated with them are eligible for forgiveness.

You should check with your accountant or prospective lender to be sure.

Glad you liked it.
