Federal support through the SBA: Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan backed by the Small Business Administration and small businesses can now apply. The loan is designed to cover 8 weeks of payroll expense, rent, and utilities for businesses with under 500 employees. The loan can be forgiven at the end of the 8 week period if it is used to cover the expenses mentioned above. This program can offer crucial support to small businesses in this time, and can ensure that businesses have the staff they need when it is possible to recover in the future. We are encouraging businesses in Ada to apply for this program quickly.
PPP vs. EIDL
While the PPP program is open until June 30, 2020, the government is advising borrowers to apply as soon as possible given the loan cap on the program.
