What is the Payment Protection Program?
The Payment Protection Program (PPP) is a loan program facilitated by the Small Business Association (SBA) that is designed to help businesses keep their employees employed during the pandemic.
It is comprised of three key components:
1. First Draw Loans – If it’s your first time applying for a PPP loan, you are applying for what is known as a First Draw Loan.
2. Second Draw Loans – For businesses that received funds previously but wish to request additional funding, second draw loans began on January 13, 2021.
3. PPP Loan Forgiveness – Borrowers are entitled to loan forgiveness provided they meet certain criteria for how and when the funds are used
How can PPP funds be used?
Funds received as part of a PPP loan are designed to be used mainly for payroll expenses. Expenses like salary and wages, tips, commissions, employee benefits costs, dismissal or separation costs, paid leave, bonuses, and hazard pay, among others, are included in this category.
PPP funds can also be used to cover back pay as long as it falls within a 24-week forgiveness period. Both new and existing employees are eligible recipients of PPP loan funds. Contractors, subcontractors, or 1099 contractors are not eligible, however.
What is the quickest way to apply for the Payment Protection Program (PPP)?
The PPP forgivable loan application process opened beginning January 15, 2021, but it’s not too late to apply.
The usual process involves:
● Locating and vetting an SBA-approved lender.
● Navigating the paperwork.
● Submitting your application.
● Waiting for a response.
It can be time-consuming and tedious. That’s why we’re so pleased to be partnering with Womply to help you fast-track access to the PPP funds you need.
By applying through Womply, your PPP loan will be compiled and processed with as much help as Womply can provide.
