SBA PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM
PPP LOANS
The SBA PPP Loan is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small business to keep their workers on the payroll.
SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.
The following entities affected by Coronavirus (CONVID-19) may be eligible:
-
Any small business concern that meets SBA's standards
-
Any business, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, 501(c)(19) veterans organization, or Tribal business concern (sec.31(b)(2)(C) of the Small Business Act)
-
Any business with a NAICS Code that begins with 72 (Accommodations and Food Services) that has more than one physical location and employs less than 500 per location
-
Sole Proprietors, independent contractors, and self-employed persons.
LOAN DETAILS AND FORGIVENESS
The loan will be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll). Loan payments will also be deferred for six months. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees.
Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease.
This loan has a maturity of 2 years and an interest rate of 1%.
