SUMMARY:Paycheck Protection Program Round 2
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]ABOUT: \nJoin our instructors – who together have advised hundreds of clients on their same day loans and PPP loan and forgiveness applications – to learn more about PPP first- and second-draw loan eligibility requirements\, permitted uses of PPP funds\, tips for applying for forgiveness\, and insight into the SBA’s regulation of the program. \nPaycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Round 2: On December 27\, 2020\, the federal government made available $284.5 billion in new Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) funding for first- and second-draw PPP loans. If used promptly to pay eligible expenses\, a PPP loan never has to be repaid. Self-employed individuals\, nonprofits\, and microbusinesses that have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic should carefully consider whether they qualify for a first- or second-draw PPP loan. PPP loan applications will be accepted by the SBA through March 31\, 2021\, or until funds for the program are exhausted. \nFee: \nThis webinar is free\, but you must register to attend. Note that due to limited space\, we strongly encourage those interested in attending to register as soon as possible.
