Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Update:
- Beginning Wednesday, February 24th, 2021, PPP loans will be restricted to small businesses with fewer than 20 employees and sole proprietorships.
- This restriction will last for 14 days, through March 10, 2021
- This change comes from the Biden Administration (announced February 22nd)
- According to the release, the change “will give lenders and community partners more time to work with the smallest businesses to submit their applications, while also ensuring that larger PPP-eligible businesses will still have plenty of time to apply for and receive support before the program expires on March 31, 2021.”
