Small businesses with less than 500 employees as well as non-profits, sole proprietors and independent contractors

2.5x the average monthly cost of payroll incurred over the last twelve months, not to exceed $10 million
1% maximum rate without pre-payment penalty and generally full deferral for up to one year of principal and interest for six months
Unsecured and no guarantees required

Loan Forgiveness:

To be forgiven, loans must be used for payroll expense, mortgage interest, mortgage obligations, rent and utilities in the 8 weeks following disbursement

How to Prepare:

Gather payroll documentation for 2019 and 2020 year-to-date
After loan is funded, track 8 weeks of mortgage interest, mortgage payments, rent & utilities (loan forgiveness)
Note: The CARES Act is unclear on (1) how a borrower demonstrates eligibility for a PPP loan and (2) the documentation needed to calculate the loan amount. The SBA guidance is expected to clarify these issues, thus borrowers should gather this payroll documentation now due to high demand

CARES Act for Coronavirus Relief

On Thursday, April 2, 2020, the Treasury Department issued final guidance for the Paycheck Protection Program, which starting this week will provide up to $349 billion in fully forgivable loans to help small businesses maintain payrolls during the coronavirus pandemic.

Small businesses and sole proprietorships - generally, those with 500 or fewer employees - may apply for PPP loans with their bank starting on Friday, April 3; independent contractors and self-employed workers can apply starting April 10. PPP loans will be fully forgiven when used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent and utilities, with at least three quarters of the forgiven amount being used for payroll; forgiveness is based on employers maintaining headcount or quickly rehiring and maintaining salary levels.
