The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which consisted of government-backed loans to help small businesses and other eligible applicants continue covering payroll costs and certain operating expenses during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These loans were available to:
- Small businesses with less than 500 employees
- Sole proprietorships
- Independent contractors
- Eligible self-employed individuals
Under certain criteria, and if you use the funds as directed by the SBA, the loan may be completely or partially forgiven. You can learn about PPP loan forgiveness at this SBA webpage.
