Please note: To promote the access to capital, initially only community financial institutions can make First Draw PPP, and Second Draw PPP Loans on Wednesday, January 13. The PPP will open to all participating lenders shortly thereafter.

Here are some facts about PPP2:
Your Credit Score is not a primary consideration for a PPP loan
No security or collateral is required
100% of the loan is forgivable if spent on payroll expenses (60%) and other qualifying businesses expenses (40%)
Minimum documentation required
Just prove a 25% decline in income for any quarter of 2020 with the same quarter in 2019
Show you employ less that 300 employees
Loans are 2.5 times (3.5 for certain type of businesses) the average monthly payroll or monthly profits / Owners' draw for Independent Contractors, Single Member LLC, Sole Proprietor, Self-Employed
You can apply for PPP2 even if you received a PPP1 loan
