biz apply? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why wouldnt a biz apply for a loan in a high enough amount to get 8 weeks of wages or rent covered, if that amount will be forgiven? Even if the biz doesnt need the money?

thats not how it works. You can get a loan for 2.5 X...but only 8 weeks

I am assuming so.

Any clarity - does the forgiveable loan amount cover salary only for employees

Do you know how they determine eligibility for the loan?

Also, a significant concern includes how soon funds can be made available

I thought I saw or heard somewhere that if you took the money you couldn't

It appears to be only under the "8 week" covered period. WE are waiting for

Do you know if the 10,000 advance/grant will be deducted from SBA7A forgiveness?

BYUCLA
