Small Business Administration (SBA) Loan Programs

For Businesses Affected by Covid-19

While we are still in the process of gathering details about the various programs being offered by the SBA to assist America’s small businesses with the COVID-19 pandemic, this is what we do know: 

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)

The Paycheck Protection Program is specifically designed to help small businesses keep their workforce employed. Visit SBA.gov/Coronavirus for more information on the Paycheck Protection Program.

• The new loan program will be available retroactive from Feb. 15, 2020, so employers can
  rehire their recently laid-off employees through June 30, 2020.

• Eligible businesses: All businesses, including non-profits, Veterans organizations, Tribal concerns, sole proprietorships, self-employed individuals, and independent contractors, with 500 or fewer employees, or no greater than the number of employees set by the SBA as the size standard for certain industries
• Maximum loan amount up to $10 million
• Loan forgiveness if proceeds used for payroll costs and other designated business operating expenses in the 8 weeks following the date of loan origination (due to likely high subscription, it is anticipated that not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs)
• All loans under this program will have the following identical features: 
  • Interest rate of 1.00%
  • Maturity of 2 years
  • First payment deferred for six months
  • 100% guarantee by SBA
