Are you curious about the second round of monies from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)? If you are, the application process has officially opened; however, it will close in March 2021, or when the money is gone; therefore, apply early.
Your Business Needs A 25% Decline In Gross Receipts.
If you want to apply for the next PPP round, your business needs to have a 25% decline in gross receipts in any ONE quarter of 2020 as compared to the same quarter in 2019. The easiest way to check this is to look at the deposits on your bank statements or in your accounting software program, i.e., QuickBooks.
Sample Analysis Below:
- The PPP now allows certain eligible borrowers that previously received a PPP loan to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan with the same general loan terms as their First Draw PPP Loan.
