Joplin and Carthage Chambers of Commerce to host small business info sessions for COVID funds

Joplin, MO – To protect area businesses from misleading information about the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce (JACC) and the Carthage Chamber of Commerce are offering two different opportunities for individuals to learn about ERC.

These informational sessions will be led by Andrew Jordan with Jordan CPA Services. The federal government established the ERC to help businesses with the cost of keeping staff employed. Jordan will present information about the benefits of the ERC, how your business can get up to $26k per employee in Covid relief funds, and how to find a qualified party to assist in obtaining it.

To accommodate the busy schedules of small business owners, there will be two sessions. The first will take place at the JACC office on Thursday, September 8 from 1:30 to 2:00 pm. The Carthage Chamber of Commerce will host the second on Tuesday, September 13 from 11:30 am to 12:00 pm.

“These workshops are ideal for businesses with five or more non-related employees, restaurants, medical services, and other organizations with large numbers of lower paid employees,” says Erin Slifka, Marketing & Public Information Manager for JACC.

Both sessions are open to all area businesses. Participants do not need to be members of either chamber to attend.

For more information about either session, you may contact the JACC office at 417.624.4150 or the Carthage Chamber of Commerce at 417.358.2373.
