What is it?

The PPP provides small business with funds to pay up to 24 weeks of payroll costs including benefits.   Funds can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent and utilities over the 24 week period after the loan is made. 

 

What are the requirements? 

• Fully Forgiven. Funds are provided in the form of loans that may be fully forgiven when used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 60% 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. 
• Must Keep Employees on the Payroll – or Rehire Quickly. 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.  
• All Small Businesses Eligible. Small businesses with 500 or fewer employees-including non-profits, veterans’ organizations, tribal concerns, self-employed individuals, sole proprietorships, and independent contractors- are eligible.   Business with more than 500 employees are eligible in certain industries.
