Forgivable Stimulus Relief for Small Business

The initial funding for PPP of $349B got exhausted in the first two weeks of the program; this forced the SBA to change the program to give more emphasis to small business. As we approach the end of the Paycheck Protection Program (May 31), the average loan application reduced to $53,000 (compared to the $206,000 average at the beginning of the program), providing more opportunity for small businesses borrowers.

Eligible businesses qualify for a full PPP loan forgiveness. This is the reason we don’t recommend applying by yourself; taking full advantage of the forgiveness is a great opportunity to grow your business.
