Under the CARES Act, the Small Business Administration is offering The Paycheck Protection Program. The program is offering small loans on favorable terms for payroll necessities. It is intended to: 1) help small businesses cover their near-term operating expenses during the worst of the crisis, and 2) provide a strong incentive for employers to retain their employees.
This program is also for sole proprietors, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals.
