Paycheck Protection Program - SBA Loan


The program provides federally guaranteed loans to small businesses who maintain their payroll during the crisis. These loans might be forgiven if the employers maintain their payrolls during the emergency period. The Small Business Administration will start working with local lenders offering these types of loans.

Who is Eligible?

  • Small for profit businesses with less than 500 employees (full time and part time employees counted)

  • 501(c)(3) Non profit organizations with less than 500 employees (full time and part time employees counted)

  • Self employed individuals engaged regularly in a trade or business.

  • Small businesses that have not taken SBA Interruption Loans or Payckek Protection Program Loans.

How much can one business borrow?

A small business can borrow up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll cost not to exceed $10 million.
