All About The SBA EIDL Grant and PPP

About the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)

Eligible applicants for an EIDL can receive a $10,000 emergency grant within three days of application (through Dec. 31, 2020)

There is no obligation to repay the grant. To receive the $10,000 emergency grant, it is not necessary to have an approved EIDL loan. However, if you are able to secure a PPP loan, the $10,000 grant will be subtracted from the forgiveness amount.

The SBA is giving away $10,000 cash advance loans to eligible businesses in as few as 3 business days, and they are not requiring repayment. If you run a small business that has been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic, then this is the first loan you need to apply for.

This can be used in conjunction with the SBA PPP (Paycheck Protection Plan) loan.

About the Payroll Protection Program (PPP)

In the video, you'll also learn about the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loan and how it covers more than just payroll expenses. This loan, too, is eligible to be forgiven by the government if you meet requirements.

The loan amounts will be forgiven as long as:

  • The loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 8 week period after the loan is made; and

  • Employee and compensation levels are maintained.

Payroll costs are capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee.

Due to likely high subscription, it is anticipated that not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs.

Loan payments will be deferred for 6 months.

NEVER PAY SOMEONE TO SET UP YOUR EIDL OR PPP LOAN. THESE ARE OFFERED FOR FREE WITH NO CLOSING COSTS.

Where can I apply for the PPP Loan?

You can apply through any existing SBA lender or through any federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, and Farm Credit System institution that is participating. Other regulated lenders will be available to make these loans once they are approved and enrolled in the program. You should consult with your local lender as to whether it is participating.

If you need help finding a lender, please contact Chris.

When you speak to your lender, be sure to ask them:

  1. Are you offering the PPP Loan?

  2. Are you ready for applicants of the PPP Loan to submit information?

  3. When do you plan to submit application information to the SBA to begin the loan process?
