The outbreak of COVID-19, colloquially known as the Coronavirus has caused Federal, State, and Local governments to take unprecedented action nationwide in attempt to control the spread of the highly infectious disease.  This has resulted in profound business interruption, layoffs, and cash flow problems for businesses and individuals.

In the face of uncertainty both short and long-term, many businesses and individuals are dealing with tough financial realities.  They are concerned about how they will be able to pay their obligations (bills), and how to ensure they get paid for services they have provided to parties or work they have performed.  Many are worried about making rent payments for leased space, trying to collect lease payments, trying to get paid on a contract, or trying to get some relief on performance of a contract due to constraints of the present environment.
