Applying for a PPP Loan
The first step in applying for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan is to contact your bank or another participating lender. The Small Business Administration (SBA) has a list of participating lenders on its website. Once you have found a lender, you will need to fill out an application and submit it to the lender.
Find a lender
The first step in applying for a PPP loan is finding a lender. Any Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) lender or any participating federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, and Farm Credit System institution can make PPP loans.
If you don’t have an existing relationship with an SBA 7(a) lender or a participating lender, you should reach out to multiple lenders to secure the best deal. You can find a list of SBA-approved lenders on the SBA website.
Once you’ve found a lender, you’ll need to fill out an application and provide supporting documentation, such as payroll records or tax forms. The application is available on the SBA website.
Apply for the loan

The application will ask for basic information about your business, such as your business name, address, and the type of business you have. You will also need to provide information about your revenue and expenses for the past year.
Once you have submitted your application, the SBA will review it and determine whether you are eligible for a PPP loan. If you are approved, you will be notified of the loan amount and terms.
