Paycheck Protection Program-

• Also known as PPP- SBA has hired over 1000 additional employees to help with this demand
• This loan can be forgiven or reduce the amount owed if used properly and supporting documentation is provided
• This loan should be intended for short term capital needs since it’s meant to cover 8 weeks of Payroll Cost
• Given that this is only to cover 8 weeks, and we’re in this quarantined state until the end of April, this will not fix the long term effects of COVID 19
• Use of proceeds- Salaries, medical leave, insurance premiums, mortgage payments, rent and utility payments
• Use of proceeds- Salaries, medical leave, insurance premiums, mortgage payments, rent and utility payments
• Applicants can apply for both the PPP and EIDL as long as they are not used for the same purpose
• Example of how the funds can be used: PPP funds used for the first 8 weeks of Payroll Costs, then used the EIDL for other operating expenses that are not defined as Payroll Costs and/or use the funds after the initial 8 weeks of Payroll Costs
• No personal guarantee or collateral required
• 100% guaranteed by the SBA
• No Guarantee fees paid by the borrower
• The remaining balance that is not forgiven is set termed into a 2 year maturity at 0.5%
• Payments are deferred 6 months, but accrue interest during this period
• NEEDS LIST
• Complete the application entirely
• Copies of payroll tax reports filed with the IRS
• Forms 941 and 940
• State income and unemployment with the last 12 months of payroll reports
• CDD- if already on file, work on the recertification asap
