All personal care service businesses, such as hair salons, nail salons, aesthetic technicians, and the beauty industry as a whole, were strongly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. From lengthy shutdowns to limited client access and increased safety and sanitary protocols, nearly every personal care service business experienced serious setbacks as a result of the pandemic.
It is a well known fact that much of the personal care service industry was severely impacted as a result of the pandemic. Due to the hands-on nature of personal care services, many of these businesses were unable to operate, or experienced severe limitations with respect to how they could deliver their services to clients. The good news is that your business may be eligible for the employee retention credit!
If your personal care services business experienced either #1 or #2 below due to COVID-19, you may qualify for the Employee Retention Credit program.
1. A greater than 10% of restrictions on your business operations due to government issued COVID orders, which might include:
2. A 50% or more decline in gross receipts in 2020 when compared to the same quarter in 2019 or a 20% or more decline in gross receipts in 2021 when compared to the same quarter in 2019.
Under the updated CARES Act, your business may qualify for Employee Retention Credit, providing you with up to $26,000 per W-2 employee. The ERC program is available even to businesses that accepted a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity.
