PPP loans: return the funds or seek forgiveness?
May 12, 2020 · Authored by
The Small Business Administration announced it extended the deadline to May 14, 2020, for borrowers under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to return loans they may not be able to certify are necessary for their ongoing operations in uncertain economic conditions. Included in the PPP is a provision that requires borrowers make a good faith certification that their loan is necessary to support their ongoing operations in the wake of the “uncertainty of current economic conditions.” The statutory language would appear to have broad application given the current economic climate; however, eligibility is complicated because the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act offers few guidelines for the loan program.
Watch our complimentary on-demand webinar for an in-depth review of the good faith certifications as well as our recommendations of specific considerations to be made and documentation to be prepared for each of them.
