COVID-19 Stimulus Law Paycheck Protection Program and SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Lifelines for Small Businesses: Are You Eligible, How Do You Apply, and What are the Key Terms/Benefits?

Webinar | 03.31.20, 12:00 PM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT

With the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and funding for the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) grants unlocking over $350 billion to cover urgent business costs, including payroll costs, employee benefits and leave, mortgage interest payments, debt refinancing, rent and utilities, the COVID-19 Stimulus Law has extended an essential lifeline targeted at eligible small businesses. However, a threshold question is analyzing eligibility under the PPP and EIDL.


Join us for a discussion of this program, as well as what companies are entitled to, and how to access this loan financing to sustain your businesses and your workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional materials will be available prior to the webinar, including a step-by-step eligibility questionnaire and responses to the key initial questions on the scope of the PPP.
