Economic Injury Disaster Loan (Just reopened!)
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, small business owners are able to apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan advance of up to $10,000. This advance is designed to provide economic relief to businesses that are currently experiencing a temporary loss of revenue. This loan advance will not have to be repaid. Recipients do not have to be approved for a loan in order to receive the advance, but the amount of the loan advance will be deducted from total loan eligibility.

U.S. Treasury and SBA Released the final PPP Loan Forgiveness Application 
The application includes the changes made in the Paycheck Flexibility Act. SBA has also introduced a great EZ Forgiveness Application version as well as a full application version. This EZ form will make it much simpler to complete your forgiveness application form without doing complicated calculations.
