SMB COVID19 Support
CARES Act for SMBs
As we know many of our SMBs are struggling at this time, and looking for answers. CRiskCo created this page to assist with relevant links, and information to assist. We are constantly updating this page with new updates.
Our nation's small businesses are facing an unprecedented economic disruption due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. On Friday, March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the CARES Act, which contains $376 billion in relief for American workers and small businesses.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) published a few programs
for small or medium business (SMB), with fewer than 500 employees. At this website we decided to focus on 2 programs:
1. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
2. COVID-19 ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN (EIDL)
All the information is provided as a service to the SMBs and not here to provide guidance, brokerage service, or committing for any application to be accepted and for how long this programs will run. To learn more please visit SBA website.
Quick Facts
Who Can Apply?
* Any SMB that have less than 500 employees, Sole proprietors, independent contractors, and self-employed persons
How much can I get?
* EIDL provides $10,000 immediate relief funds
* PPP provides 2.5 times the average salary expenses for all employees with a cap of $100,000 yearly.
For example: if i have two employees one earning $50K yearly, and the second earn $150K, I will add (50K/12 + 100K/12) and get the average paycheck expense of $12,500, than i will multiple it by 2.5 months, and get max allowed loan of $31,250.
Would I need to pay it back?
For PPP, SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.
EIDL loan advance will not have to be repaid.
Where can I apply?
For EIDL at the link below directly at the SBA online tool.
For PPP, our recommendation is to approach your bank, to have the best chances to receive the funds quickly. In case, that your bank is participating, you can approach other banks that allows you to apply even if you don't have with them an account.
CRiskCo had partnered with Radius bank, to support SMBs.
