Update: Paycheck Protection Program has ended
It was our honor to have supported more than 300,000 small businesses with COVID-19 relief loans to help them cover expenses, pay employees and get back on their feet.
For the best tips on running and scaling your growing business, check out the latest on our blog:
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Initially, this was a $350-billion program providing small businesses with eight weeks of cash-flow assistance through federally guaranteed loans that functioned similarly to a non-taxable grant. In December 2020, the government passed a stimulus package committing an additional $284.5B to PPP.
Because the PPP is available through Mar 31, 2021, and funds are limited, you’ll want to gather the right documents for the loan application right away. Here’s a checklist of what’s required:
