McKesson is providing some assistance for stores to help ease concerns around cash flow by allowing split or partial payments to be made. Should you need this assistance please reach out to your RSM or area Credit Managers to initiate the request (List of area Credit Managers can be found below). Stores with no previous credit issues or concerns can be granted this without a penalty. As you are also aware, through government funding stores are able to acquire loans through the CARES Act. Below are several resources that talk about those opportunities and lenders that are providing this service.
Furthermore, NCPA is hosting a webinar to talk through the CARES Act and how stores can apply, below is the link for stores to register for the webinar.
