Maximize Loan Forgiveness Under the PPP

We want you to maximize your loan forgiveness under the Paycheck Protection Program.

And we have developed a tool to help.

June 4, 2020 Update: We expect significant changes to the PPP Regulations to be signed into law, and are working on updates to our Maximizer Report. The updated report will still provide planning resources for businesses who have received PPP Loans, and will take into account the forgiveness deadline of December 31, 2020.

As of May 1, 2020, the Small Business Administration ("SBA") approved almost 3.9 million Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans. If your business has been approved for a loan or already received PPP funding, then congratulations! The challenge ahead is using the funds properly, and in a way that maximizes loan forgiveness.

Why Is Maximizing Forgiveness So Important?

The simple answer is because FORGIVENESS = FREE MONEY for your business. And UNFORGIVEN FUNDS = REPAYMENT.

The decisions you make over the next eight weeks could affect your business for the next two years. PPP loan repayment terms include a two-year amortization and six months of deferred payments, during which time interest on the unforgiven amount accrues.

Illustration

Here is an example of why maximum forgiveness is so important. Assume you receive a $200,000 loan. But because one of your employees didn't fully understand the approved uses of those funds, only $100,000 of the loan amount is eligible to be forgiven. Under the repayment terms, you defer payments on the unforgiven amount for six months. But at that time, only six months after initial disbursement of the loan, you must begin to make payments on your PPP loan of $5,627.26 per month for the next eighteen months on the $100,000 unforgiven balance of your PPP loan.

Our FORGIVENESS MAXIMIZER report will help you (and your staff) understand the proper uses of PPP loan proceeds and will guide you to achieve your maximum forgiveness amount. Our report is specific to your business and its needs. The report contains:

Multiple loan usage scenarios, applying your data to the SBA's complex, and often misunderstood, PPP loan use and forgiveness guidance
