The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was created to help small businesses impacted by COVID-19 cover up to 8 weeks of payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt. PPP loans go up to $10 million and may be 100% forgiven. The last day to apply is June 30, 2020.
Am I eligible?
Eligibility requirements
You're a small business (including nonprofits, veterans organizations, Tribal business concerns, sole proprietorships, self-employed individuals, gig workers, and independent contractors) with 500 or fewer employees. Businesses in some industries can have more employees if they meet the SBA employee-based size standards.
You were operating on or before 2/15/2020.
You were affected by COVID-19.
There are a few exceptions. Businesses in the hospitality and food industry with more than one location may also be eligible if their individual locations employ fewer than 500 workers. In some cases, small businesses invested in or owned by venture capital or private equity firms won't be eligible for a PPP loan due to the SBA's affiliation rule.
Some things will make you ineligible for a PPP loan, like having a recent criminal history, being delinquent or having recently defaulted on an federally-guaranteed loan, or currently being involved in a bankruptcy.
