The SBA is now accepting applications for the Paycheck Protection Program through their new online loan application portal. This online portal will streamline the PPP application process and will provide applicants with real-time feedback on their application status.
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.
