Emergency Funding for Businesses

PPP 2.0 Rolling Out This Week

Banks will begin taking applications sometime this week. 

The new law allows some businesses to apply for a second loan. To qualify, businesses
must have spent all of their first loan, have less than 300 employees and prove that they
lost 25% or more of revenue in any quarter in 2020 either on a quarterly or annual
basis.

Businesses will need to have their 2019 tax return on hand as well as profit and loss
records to show that they’ve had at least one quarter where revenue fell 25% or more.
These second loans will be made on a similar recommendation to the first round of PPP
2.5 times payroll costs and will also be capped at $2 million.

Food service and accommodation industries (hotels & restaurants) that are businesses
classified under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) beginning
with the number 72 are eligible for loans that amount to 3.5 times their average monthly
payroll.

Borrowers are still required to spend at least 60% of the funds on payroll over a covered
period of either 8 or 24 weeks to receive full forgiveness.
The other 40% may be used on eligible costs, including certain mortgage expenses, rent
and utility payments. Under the renewed program, the list of eligible non-payroll
expenses has been expanded to include four new categories, including:

• Costs for personal protective equipment and adaptive investments that help a
PPP loan recipient comply with federal and/or health and safety guidelines
related to COVID-19
• Costs incurred on software, cloud computing, human resources, and accounting
needs.
• Any spending not covered by insurance that are related to property damage due
to public disturbances that occurred during 2020.
• Spending to suppliers that covered costs essential to the business operations at
the time the expense occurred.
