Many Michigan small businesses eligible for unused federal money - WDIV ClickOnDetroit

DEARBORN, Mich. – Many small businesses are eligible for thousands of dollars in money from the federal government.

Noah Saleh did what many people only dream of doing and at 27, he turned a passion into a money-maker with Noah’s Smokehouse

The future was bright for Saleh. In his first year, business was mind-boggling.

“It started great,” Saleh said. “It was kind of overwhelming.”

He said they were selling out by 5 p.m. nearly every single day. When the coronavirus pandemic started, he was forced to close down for three months. Like many small businesses, just because the outbreak shut down the business, it didn’t mean the operations stopped.

“We had lease payments that weren’t forgiven, electric bills were still coming, third-party services, delivery systems, maintenance fees,” Saleh said. “All these fees kept coming and coming without any revenue. It really set us under. The biggest blow was letting my employees go and not giving them anything because we didn’t have anything to give.”

But then he stumbled over a notice by the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce. It had $1.3 million to give -- not loan -- to businesses in Federal CARES Act monies. Yet few businesses in Dearborn took advantage of the opportunity to stay a float with federal dollars.
