doesnt lay people off or rehires them if they have already done so, the bulk of the loan is forgivable and converts to grant

Friend of mine was just talking to me about this.
Apr 3, 2020, 10:12 AM
|
|
He works for a small business and was saying the company's attorney said the loans have no strings attached and they'll be forgiven with no penalty, so it's basically a hand-out. My friend is notoriously wrong about everything, so I'm interested to hear from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

they need grants, not loans, some owners are just throwing in the towel especially if they are close to retirement

It's a loan that converts to a grant if you utilize funds

primarily for payroll (including self-employed, contractor work) and other business categories.

Don't spread the word until our loan gets funded.
If we don't get it, we're fawked. Probably have to lay off half the staff (20 ppl) and pay cuts for the rest.

they should make them grants from the start and give folks confidence to take the money and keep the employees

There are stipulations for duration of employment.
Apr 3, 2020, 12:43 PM
|
|
Loans cover (at most) 2-1/2 months of payroll and expenses. You need to keep staff intact for 6 or 12 months. I don't recall the exact amount, but if you take the loan to make ends meet for 2.5 months and after that your business still sucks, you have no choice but to lay people off.

Just what defines a small business.
Apr 3, 2020, 11:39 AM

Some lady on CNN was yapping last night, said her "small business" laid off 600 people. That is not a small business in my book, but my book isn't official.

When I hear small business I think 50 employees or fewer.

Normally, it's less than 500 employees, but that....
Apr 3, 2020, 4:43 PM
[ in reply to Just what defines a small business. ] |

varies by the type of industry. For my industry, it's up to 750 employees. Normally, there is also a cap on revenues (also varies by industry) and the company is not eligible if it has foreign ownership.
For the purpose of this relief, basically only the number of employees matter. So my company cannot normally be considered a small business due to foreign ownership, but can participate in the PPA and disaster loan offerings.

We're focusing on PPP
Apr 3, 2020, 1:53 PM
|
|
EIDL just seems like an advance on the PPP money, we're asking for >$10k, and don't need it immediately.

The seem like different pots of money though.
Apr 3, 2020, 2:47 PM
|

EDL has first $10k that's forgivable, and that just requires staying in business, maintaining payroll, paying biz rent/mortgage, utilities, etc. Basically just incurring expenses as a business entity. After $10k, it's basically a loan with really favorable terms.
PPP is the one that is hyper-focused on maintaining payroll/headcount, with higher headroom for forgive-ability, depending on number of employees and their salaries.

PPP had language about accepting other govt stimulus loans
Apr 3, 2020, 3:56 PM
|

No double dipping. So max loan is PPP submission minus $10k EIDL

absolutely applicable.
Apr 3, 2020, 2:44 PM

Even on a sole proprietorship, you are still an employee by the rules of the measures.
You're leaving $10k on the table if you don't do the EDL one. The PPP is a little more complex but that 2.5x multiplier will be applied to owner's income for you.

Even if forgiveness denied, the interest rate is only 0.5%

Unreal offer right now. We hope to borrow as much as we can. Still unclear if our 1099s can be included in the 'payroll' figure.
