Client got an EIDL Decline due to not showing a economic injury.

How did they come up with that? the application is only asking for Sales and COGS?

Indeed. I only saw Sales and COGS questions there. Didn't notice anything about economic injury. Did I miss something?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

There is an Economic Injury question for lost rents but those who filled it in shot themselves in the foot because the SBA gave them that amount only as their loan.

If his credit is below 570 don't bother because they won't approve him anyway.

Is there a way to add a partner to the business with good credit?

Any advice when a sole prop should apply for forgiveness?
Just wait it out for now?

It might depend on the bank.
From what I've seen from BofA, they only allow you to apply once your covered period is over even if you used up all the funds before that (per SBA rules you can apply once you've used up the funds).

Even if applying for forgiveness is allowed, might be worth waiting since they might pass law auto-forgiving e/t under $250k I think.

@Exgingi if you didnt enter correct your total revenue and COGS it could result in getting a denial of Economic injury not enough

We got denied for EIDL, due to entering the wrong "nature of business" in the application. We appealed the decision. Anyone know how long it takes, I get vague answers when I call. I have info/ documents to back it up, but it seems theres noone to talk to. Its been over a month..

150k, but looking less and less likely- talks of stimulus have pretty much ceased.

Seems like there was a bit of news on that front today, but I'm not following so closely.

Republicans put together a mini package but the Dems swore they won't even look at it.
The saving grace might be forced negotiations to prevent a shutdown where the Rs might use it to negotiate for something the Ds want.

this is insane. I must have gotten 10 phone calls regarding completing my application which I already told to close! they even said they'll put a note on the case and not to call. I'm going to be hearing from them on my death bed at 120.  >:(
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

The SBA released a simplified forgiveness application with easier forgiveness rules for loans of 50k or less.

Not that I think there wasn't any fraud, but what would stop one from (possibly illegally) operating a car wash business with a "corporate" or "business address" as the residential address, and actually washing cars on the street at client locations? If he claims to have had 10 employees, his biggest issue would be not paying WC!!!!

This is not the real issue. The real issue is that if you have employees you also have paystubs, W2s, W4s, 940s, 941s, and so on. That's what's missing here.

What if you ran a cash car wash business and didn’t have any of those filings? That’s probably a different crime but it doesn’t make your car wash business EIDL claim fraudulent.

That's not an option with W2 employees... you still have to withhold taxes and file all forms... if you claimed on your EIDL application that you have 10 employees and you didn't file these docs, you don't have W2 employees.

You are right, but one can file late, pay penalties etc. etc., none of those come close to the penalties for not having WC in place. So in theory if he would retrospectively try to recreate everything, file late, pay penalties for late filing and late payment, those things might save his skin, but once you bring in the fact that he didn't pay WC (especially on a manual labor type of business like this), the fines will be so astronomical that I think he would choose any other alternative.

At this point is it worth applying for forgiveness as a sole prop under 50k (or might they still pass law automatically forgiving)? And, is Kabbage supposed to have some sort of built-in forgiveness application? (Their website has always said "Loan forgiveness next steps are coming soon")
Also, why are they showing the loan balance creeping up (interest is being charged it seems), when first few months were supposed to be 0% interest?
