Not our case. I doubt even

50% will be forgiven based on my outlook. There is no forgiveness for wages of people that earn over $100k. Lots of people are not educated and make quick judgements. My company will get crushed but this will help us stay open and be an employer in the future.

They will increase funding. Everyone will get access.

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.

US Bank is processing single-owner businesses first

They will increase funding

So is the stipulation simply that you can’t lay people off?

And use at least 75% of it for payroll.

RdF3

4/5/20 9:42am

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

kotacoug

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

What bank do you use? I though my company was toward the front of the line.

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

Acorn

4/5/20 11:53am

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

BYUfan92

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