The first $350 billion is going to go so fast. May already be gone.

Of which real small companies (sub 20 employees) will receive none.

And use at least 75% of it for payroll.

I don’t think that is the stipulation. You just have to rehire or employee

No. It is a loan. You get 2.5 months of payroll except for anything

The SBA has been changing things almost daily. We took the chance on Wednesday

Acorn

I’m so confused. You have to go through a bank for the PPP.

Cougfourlife

4/5/20 11:58am

Yes. The Banks underwrite and fund the loan. The Government guarantees it

Reading this makes me happy for you but sick to my stomach at the same time.

Agreed. I also find interesting that it is forgivable, yet a biz doesn’t have to

That’s what I’m not too happy about. Companies using it as a 1% loan
