Calendar/Business submission response summary

The review for Nova Message is complete and in their file. Nova Message is a new business in Thornton that began operations in December, 2019. As a new business, they have been significantly impacted by COVID. They had just completed their tenant finish work and opened when they were forced to shut down due to COVID. It should be noted that there is no “track record” for this business as they were so new when the crisis hit we have no documentation on how successful their business will be. They intend to use the grant for rent ($2,100/month) and utilities (~$400/month). They are a Priority 2 because they are not a Sales Tax producing business.

Can you work with this business to obtain the proper documentation? There may be a languagebarrier, so please keep that in mind. She did not include a W-9, lease, proof of bills, nor itemizedstatement. She only attached her tax documents to every link. Sorry this one may bechallenging. If the language barrier is severe, try to at least get her lease agreement and we cansee about offering 2 months’ rent through a Priority 1. I might be able to get a copy of the leasefrom the landlord if needed but hopefully she can get you everything.

She doesn’t have financial information that clarifies before health because she was only open 2weeks before the shutdown.

Thank You,
