PPP Loans help Small Businesses* Obtain Funds for Payroll and Certain Other Expenses
Loans can be for up to two and a half months of your average monthly payroll costs. NOTE: Payroll costs will be capped for employees that earn more than $100,000
The loan amount has a maturity date of 5 years and an interest rate of 1.00%
Loan payments will be deferred for 10 months after the end of the covered period for the borrower’s loan forgiveness (either 8 weeks or 24 weeks), or for borrowers who apply for loan forgiveness, payments will be deferred until the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender.
No collateral is required.
No personal guarantees are required.
Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees.
If the Business maintains their workforce, the SBA will forgive the loan proceeds that are used to cover the first 8 to 24 weeks of payroll. NOTE: The SBA will fully forgive the loan if the funds are used eligible expenses. Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or rehiring employees and maintaining a minimum of 75% of compensation levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease more than 25% (exceptions apply).
Please also note, the following:
