SBA PPP and EIDL Small Business Loans (some money is forgivable)

[sillypainter]

I see there there is no dedicated thread for SBA small business PPP loans and EIDL loans. So I am opening this thread.

Can anybody confirm if they were able to fill out an application at Chase https://recovery.chase.com/cares1 I tried filling out and I received an error. Was it maybe because I already filled out a form to get a call on Friday?

I also applied for EIDL loan, and I now see that you will get by this week $1K per employee. Anybody else filled out an EIDL loan form?

I alos filled out the Cross River bank PPP app through Eastern Union on Friday. So far I have not received a follow up. Anybody else? Whoever responds first, will get my application in.

There's a thread on the Stimulus package as a whole with many of these discussed there.
I know some that submitted applications to Chase on Friday (for PPP).
I applied for EIDL but entity has no employees so not feeling very optimistic.
Be careful about submitting multiple applications. You can try with multiple banks before they request a signature, but once you're at the signature stage your application gets an SBA #, and you're certifying on the application that you're not submitting more than one.

I think the small business loans deserve their own thread.. You are YOUR companies employee, so I hope you put 1 at least, so you will be getting $1K by this week.

I understand that I can't make multiple loan apps, just trying to see who gets back to me first. Nothing is done until I sign.

Just keep in mind that if you want PPP to be forgiven, you can't apply for EIDL as well

Chase site is having trouble. On my computer I was getting stuck in a loop, but i managed to submit the application from my phone (using the desktop site).

1. Can I get an EIDL grant and apply for a PPP loan?
2. Where am I best off applying for PPP if I’m an independent contractor that’s unincorporated and I don’t have a business account (any account really) with an SBA lender?

Wrong info. Check before you post.

Are you sure? I thought that the amount of the PPP forgiveness is reduced by the Grant portion of the EIDL. So if you get $1k from EIDL and $20K from PPP only $19K of the PPP is forgiven.

Sole proprietors can get PPP loans, check out this guy on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCigUBIf-zt_DA6xyOQtq2WA

Still doesn’t mean you can’t apply for both.

You got it.

PPP will basically allow you to refinance the EIDL loan, so YES, you can get emergency cash through EIDL which will be given out this week. I don't think the SBA loan will start coming in this week, so EIDL will be quicker cash. You will however only get $1K per employee, that's what the SBA clarified yesterday contrary to everybody's believe that you will get 10K.

IIRC yes but the will subtract the amount of the grant off of the amount that will be forgiven

Thought so, but for most people there won't be much benefit to getting the EIDL if they also get the PPP.

A few possible benefits;
1 - Get money quicker (maybe)
2 - Less restrictions on what the EIDL can be spent on.
3 - Max loan amount for the EIDL is a lot higher so if you want a low interest loan (for the non-forgiven part).

Any way to update the EIDL application if I wrote 0 employees?

Any way to check the status of the EIDL? I applied on 3/31 got a confirmation number and thats it.

Pretty sure 1099 workers have to wait until April 10th to apply for the PPP.

Do you have a chase business credit card? I don't know if that's the best, but that might allow you to apply through them

EIDL is quicker, you will get it this week. $1K per employee.

Nope. You will get $1K per employee this week as per SBA.
