Business Resources
In addition to traditional SBA lending programs, the CARES Act created several new, temporary programs to address the economic challenges facing small businesses during the COVID-19 outbreak. These programs include: the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance (EIDL), SBA Express Bridge Loans, and SBA Debt Relief. To learn more about each option, please visit the SBA's website. Click here for coronavirus recovery information in languages other than English.
PPP Loans
The SBA implemented the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to provide small businesses with the resources needed to maintain payroll, hire back employees who may have been laid off, and cover applicable overhead costs. A fundamental part of the program’s enacting legislation dealt with forgiving a portion, or all of, the amount borrowed if funds were used for allowable expenses during a certain period of time.
We want you to be aware that guidelines governing forgiveness may change, and encourage you to monitor legislative actions and additional SBA amendments to current PPP guidelines at www.sba.gov and www.treasury.gov.
SBA Disaster Relief Loans
The Small Business Administration is offering designated states and territories low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses experiencing substantial economic hardships as a result of the COVID-19. For more information, please visit the SBA's Disaster Loan Assistance website or contact the SBA's Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center by phone at 1-800-659-2955, or by email at disastercustomerservice@sba.gov.
Economic Impact Payments
The IRS began sending Economic Impact Payments (EIP) the week of April 15. We encourage our customers to check online banking transactions to see if their EIP has been processed. The IRS plans to mail a letter 15 days after the payment was sent containing information about how the payment was made and how to report a missing payment.
