What is the Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program?
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is a federal relief program established by Congress and implemented by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll during the COVID-19 crisis. Businesses can apply through any existing SBA 7(a) lender, such as Community State Bank.
What’s a First Draw PPP Loan and a Second Draw PPP Loan?
In general, a First Draw PPP loan is for eligible borrowers who did not receive a PPP loan before the program closed in August 2020. A Second Draw PPP loan is for certain eligible borrowers that previously received a PPP loan, generally have 300 employees or less, and have suffered a 25% reduction in gross receipts in any quarter (or an annual comparison) of 2020 compared to 2019.
