Where Are FaZe on Financials?
FaZe Clan has received a loan from the United States Government.
The loan was approved by the Paycheck Protection Program, a business support program for the United States during the coronavirus pandemic. A government report revealed that FaZe received a loan of one to two million dollars. Besides, eight more American eSports organizations took out loans of at least $ 150,000.
According to the rules of the PPP program, companies can borrow 2.5 times more money than the monthly salary. A loan is non-refundable if, during a pandemic, the organization continues to pay salaries to employees (at least 75% of the sum before the pandemic begins). At least 60 percent of the loan should go to workers’ salaries; the rest of the money can be spent on payments for real estate, utilities, and payments on old loans.
Let’s see what success the team will achieve given their current financial situation and the fact that FaZe assembles a new Valorant team.
