How Would a Business Qualify for the New 2nd Draw PPP Loan?
Businesses hardest hit during the COVID-19 pandemic have been targeted for stimulus funds under the law. In fact, businesses can’t qualify for a PPP loan unless they were in operation by Feb. 15, 2020.
A second draw PPP loan is available to eligible businesses who have previously received an original PPP loan and meet certain requirements, which include:
-
Employing fewer than 300 people
-
Having used or will use all funds from their first PPP loan
-
Showing a reduction in gross receipts of 25 percent or more during any quarter in 2020 when compared to that same quarter in 2019.
How Do I Apply for a 2nd Draw PPP Loan?
-
For loans up to $150,000, businesses would need to submit a certification with their loan application attesting that the business meets the revenue loss requirements (25% or more reduction in gross receipts during any quarter in 2020 when compared to that same quarter in 2019).
-
However, they will be required to provide proof that on or before the time of applying for forgiveness that the business met the revenue loss standard.
How Much Can a Business Borrow Under the New PPP Loan?
-
For first-time PPP borrowers, the maximum amount is $10 million.
-
For 2nd Draw PPP, the maximum is $2 million.
-
For both first and second draw PPP loans, the maximum amount one can borrow generally is 2.5 times the average monthly payroll cost based on defined 12-month periods.
-
However, restaurants and businesses with NAICS codes (accommodations and food services) beginning with 72 are eligible for 2nd Draw loans with a maximum of 3.5 times the average monthly payroll cost.
