The Paycheck Protection Loan program
If you have employees, you can borrow up to 2.5 times your monthly payroll, and if you keep your employees on your payroll after 8 weeks, the loan could be converted to a grant.
We learned that the applications for this program will be ready as soon as Friday, and that funds are made available on a first-come first-served basis.
Experts believe this program will be more popular than toilet paper, so act fast! These funds could be gone by Monday.
Check with your financial institution as soon as possible to find out if they are helping process these loans. If so, ask them to get you an application as soon as they are available.
