CARES Act: Applications open TODAY 4/3 + other updates

IMPORTANT UPDATES ON CARES ACT – NEW INFORMATION, APPLICATIONS OPEN TODAY, APRIL 3RD

The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce has been using our website, emails and social media to connect our small businesses members with resources related to the CARES Act and the Small Business Administration (SBA) loan and grant relief programs during this difficult time. 

Please note that as of Thursday, April 2nd, SBA has finalized guidance for the highly anticipated Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Although the early release of documents from the U.S. Treasury states that applications open TODAY – April 3, please note that SBA lenders are receiving this information at the same time. As such, many of the SBA lenders (shareable PDF attached), may not be able to answer questions and immediately accept their first applications as of tomorrow. 

Just updated on the website are new financing pages that link from www.sba.gov/coronavirus. As you can see from the screenshot below, it’s a nice summary of funding options. Because there are so many moving parts, many are recommending the directing applicants to www.sba.gov/coronavirus any new info will link up from there. We also strongly encourage you to contact your banker.
