Paycheck Protection Program

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.
