Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide direct incentives for small businesses to keep their workers on payroll. The requirements for these loans are much simpler, in comparison to previous SBA loans. These loans are designed to keep small business owners staff on Payroll. The PPP has only a 1% Fixed APR (Forgivable) and does not require any guarantee or collateral. It is important to note that SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on payroll for eight weeks and the money is used specifically for payroll, rent, mortgage interests or utilities.
The requirements are pretty straight forward.
Your business must have been in operation prior to February 15, 2020 and second your small business must have less than 500 employees per location.
The PPP is a first come first serve based process. If you wish to apply for this specific loan, it is highly encouraged you do apply before the funds run out. You can easily apply with trusted lenders like Upwise.
