Firms are priced based in the long term future profits. By injecting capital immediately, the firms liquidity problems are resolved.

It sounds like you've never heard of convertible preferred shares. Or maybe you have and haven't thought this one though?

Actually you’re right, that should work for businesses with shares. If people are willing to invest. But how would this work in a liquidity crunch? That was the situation we were in. Everyone was moving to cash.

What about non-incorporated businesses? That’s the bulk of small business ordered to shut down.
