Loan Applications and Helpful Spreadsheets
Here are some frequently asked quesions to help you get started!
- This program is available for any federally legal businesses that was in operation prior to February 15, 2020
- The small business must have less than 300 employees (including sole proprietorships, independent contractors and self-employed persons), private non-profit organization or 501(c)(19) veterans organizations affected by coronavirus/COVID-19.
- Small businesses in the hospitality and food industry with more than one location could also be eligible at the store and location level if the store employs less than 300 workers. This means each store location could be eligible.
As long as you use 60% of the loan proceeds for payroll costs and the remaining 40% for other eligible business expenses, then the loan can be forgiven, with the submitted forgiveness application.
- The business has to have suffered a loss in revenue of 25% or greater during any quarter of 2020, or year over year comparing 2020 and 2019; or comparing the same quarters in 2019 vs 2020.
- The business has to have already used or will use all of the proceeds from your first PPP loan.
No; if you are a first draw client, we can process your application immediately. If you are a second draw client, we recommend working with your original lender; if you are not able or do not want to work with your original lender, then we will need your PPP loan number and the forgiveness confirmation from your original lender.
AmPac will process new PPP loans for businesses seeking a loan under $50,000. For existing clients, AmPac will consider PPP loans up to $150,000.
No, there is no fee that you have to pay for the PPP loan. The original CARES Act and the Economic Relief Aid Act both included funds to cover fees for processing the PPP loan so that the small business does not have to bear the cost.
It depends; the faster you submit the requested documents, the faster we can submit your application to SBA for approval. The process can be as short as 2 weeks.
