The BCAP program is designed to provide working capital to support your operational cash flows, including recurring operating expenses, servicing existing loans, acquiring inventory/managing supply chain fluctuations, and covering additional accounts receivable resulting from customers paying slower due to the pandemic. In certain circumstances, equipment required to transition your business into a COVID-compatible operations may also be included in your application amount.
