SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
Congress recently passed “The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” (CARES Act), which includes the “Paycheck Protection Program” (PPP) for small businesses. This program gives small businesses access to short-term cash flow assistance aimed to help deal with the immediate global impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans are made by approved lenders like Level One Bank, certified by the SBA (Small Business Administration) and are guaranteed by the federal government of the United States.
Level One Bank is an approved SBA Lender and is currently accepting applications for existing clients only. Must be a client prior to May 1, 2020 to be eligible to apply.
