First Draw PPP Loans can be used to help fund payroll costs, including benefits. Funds can also be used to pay for mortgage interest, rent, utilities, worker protection costs related to COVID-19, uninsured property damage costs caused by looting or vandalism during 2020, and certain supplier costs and expenses for operations.
These loans will initially only be available through Community Financial Institutions (CFIs)
- CFIs tend to be smaller regional banks that have average assets under $1 billion.
- The SBA is hoping that by opening the program to CFIs, more funds will go to smaller businesses and minority owned firms that more frequently have relationships with CFIs
- Check with you local lending institution to determine if they are participating in the program and if they are a CFI and the date they will begin receiving applications
- The SBA will open the program to other lenders “shortly thereafter”.
