While the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) reopened for some small businesses earlier this week, the SBA has now released dates for when the program will reopen for borrowers seeking PPP loans from larger lenders. As reported in our previous blog post discussing the opening of the PPP portal, the PPP initially reopened on January 11, 2021, for community financial institutions (CFIs) to make loans to first-time PPP borrowers. CFIs were allowed to make second-draw loans to previous PPP recipients starting Wednesday, January 13, 2021.
The SBA announced that the PPP will extend to reopening for lenders with $1 billion or less in assets on Friday, January 14, 2021, at 9 a.m. ET. The program will begin accepting applications for first- and second-draw loans from large lenders on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.
PPP Loan Documentation
If your business is planning to apply for a PPP loan, it is best to begin collecting required documentation such as average monthly payroll amounts and quarterly revenue for second-draw loans. Having these items ready will make for a smoother and quicker application process.
