Financial Assistance from the US SBA for Small Businesses and Non-Profits (SBA file date: April 2 ver 1)
Summary
This U.S. Small Business Administration slide deck from the Houston District explains the relief in the CARES Act, signed into law Friday, March 27, 2020. It describes Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million at 3.75% interest for small businesses and 2.75% for private non-profits, plus an EIDL advance of up to $10,000 that does not have to be repaid, and Paycheck Protection Program loans with a maturity of 2 years at .5% interest, forgivable when used for payroll, mortgage interest, rent and utilities, with at least 75% of the forgiven amount used for payroll. The deck says lenders may begin processing PPP applications as soon as April 3, 2020, and that SBA will defer existing disaster loan payments through December 31, 2020. It opens by saying bad actors had 'Zoom-Bombed' SBA webinars, so questions could no longer be taken live.
