Small business loans from SBA may not come fast enough

The Small Business Administration began offering forgivable loans to small businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic a week ago. But, some desperate companies say the promised relief is not coming fast enough.

Evan Obsatz, whose family has run Butterfield Market, a New York City grocery and catering company, for 45 years, said business has slowed substantially during the coronavirus crisis.

"We had 2,000 customers a day walking in," Obsatz told CBS News chief investigative correspondent Jim Axelrod. "Now we're averaging just a couple hundred."

Obsatz said he can "realistically" stay afloat for a few more weeks. "We're still an essential business, but our funds are running low," he said.
