Webinar | Paycheck Protection Program: Considerations for Businesses and Organizations
On April 8th, we held a webinar that was focused on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This $349 billion program is designed to help small businesses keep their workers on payroll.
As outlined by the SBA, this program is for any small business with less than 500 employees (including sole proprietorships, independent contractors and self-employed persons), private non-profit organizations or 501(c)(19) veterans organizations affected by the coronavirus/COVID-19.1
Specifically, we covered...
- Current status of the application process
- Hints and observations of how to deal with the chaos, timing, processes, etc
- How to proceed if you don’t have a banking relationship with an approved SBA lender
- How to calculate the maximum loan amount and what payroll timeline you use
- Details regarding loan forgiveness
- What documentation is needed for the application
- Strategies to navigate the chaos when applying for a PPP loan
