I opened and ran my business with my mother as the main other employee for the past year. We did have other employees, but they worked sparingly, usually 7 or 8 total hours Monday through Thursday for both employees, and a total of around 14-16 hrs per total per day on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Because of Covid, I can't have my mother in the store anymore. Thus, I have to hire someone to take her spot as I cannot take care of the shop alone. Thus, I am adding 3 to 4 extra hours per day Monday and Tuesday. I am adding 7 extra hours on Friday. The weekends are roughly the same, we just go with more of a skeleton crew.
The PPP I received doesn't reflect what I actually need due to the crisis. It reflects the filed 941s from last year, when my mother helped. Without her help, payroll has doubled.
Is there anyway I can show this to the government to receive income enough to reflect the change I needed to make in my business?
I am currently losing money and if I can't keep up with my current payroll, I may need to close.
