“Our nation’s small businesses are facing an unprecedented economic disruption due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. On Friday, March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the CARES Act, which contains emergency relief resources for American workers and small businesses.” – Small Business Administration

COVID-19 swept through our nation quickly causing significant challenges to our healthcare system, economy, and the American people. Multiple programs and funding assistance is provided through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, including the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). From the Small Business Administration (SBA) website, The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. SBA will forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses.”

For more details on the program itself, visit the SBA website here.

Since the beginning of the PPP, there have been multiple versions of interim final rules issued, safe harbors developed, guidance provided, eligibility revised, and loan forgiveness application forms produced. The PPP loan forgiveness process can be difficult involving significant amounts of varying types of data as well as required detailed calculations. It may seem overwhelming to the small business owner.
