Tom T Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm curious if we can bring people back on the books and pay them...and have the loan forgiven 100% for them at the end. (but if they start getting the $600 on top of unemployment it might make more sense for them to stay laid off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles Dare Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I got updated info from my bank this AM as well, but Tom's pdf is much more extensive. 21 mins ago, Tom T said: I'm curious if we can bring people back on the books and pay them...and have the loan forgiven 100% for them at the end.

Loans are available through June 30, 2020." I'll have mine on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles Dare Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm probably eligible for an existing SBA loan forgiveness of 6 months but the payroll protection would be a lot better and I don't believe you can do both.

dena Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I am just hoping you small business guys can hang on. You are a vital part of the goings on, and losing the majority of you would be devastating to any recovery in the near future.

Many have to completely restock their food inventories before they’ll have a reason to open the doors back up, possibly ever. Apparently if they do so then the loans won’t be forgiven? Sounds like the grants are only for payroll expenses. Maybe they want everyone to sit home and collect. Not sure, gonna try to dig into it later.

mybeach Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Wife and are working through the process, very early stages. Even the website is changing regularly. The first application was complicated. The next one was much more streamlined. Communications via email only so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want to know? After talking to our accountant, I'm apparently more of an expert than he is. This document covers everything you need to know. https://www.uschamber.com/sites/default/files/023595_comm_corona_virus_smallbiz_loan_final.pdf I talked to our bank rep this morning. He said they are getting a briefing from the SBA on Friday and then will be working on their internal procedures and hope to begin accepting applications soon thereafter. Most reports said early next week (which is basically what he said), He said he was "putting me on his list of clients that were interested as soon as its available". Now, post your pizza dough recipe! If only I could cast into it, hook up, and be connected to it. My line would be attached to the chaos and, for a moment, I would mainline the power of nature.

A lot of it will be because we will have a very different economy and way of life. If you were a marginal business during a good economy, taking a SBA bail out might not be a good idea. 4 mins ago, Wheeler said: What do you want to know?

HopHead Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I’m still trying to figure it out.....specifically whether rehiring your employees now to unburden the state unemployment system is the real purpose of this. If so, I’ll be doing it. * Diversity makes us stronger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
