Hall of Fame basketball star Magic Johnson wants to help businesses owned by minorities and women who were struck by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing $100 million in loans.
The funds would be provided by EquiTrust Life Insurance Company, which is majority-owned by Johnson's company Magic Johnson Enterprises since 2015.
On the EquiTrust website , MJE collaborated with MBE Capital Partners, a "New Jersey-based non-bank lender specializing in business financing for women and minorities" to distribute out the loans through the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program.
