The new Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act has appropriated $377B in funds for small businesses. To help you decide what's best for your business, we've broken down the two options for financial relief, both administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
Highlights from the CARES Act
$300B in relief for you and your customers is coming
American singles making $99k or less, or households making $198k or less, should see funds in as soon as 3 weeks.
Businesses are getting a tax break
Business and income taxes will be deferred, and if you've fixed up your store over the last 2 years, it should be easier to write off that expense.
Plus, additional support for our communities
There will be vastly expanded unemployment benefits, support for our healthcare system, and more.
Decide which option is best for you
The overall package is pending guidance from the Small Business Administration (SBA), but there are steps to take now. If you apply for loans from different sources, rules or limitations may apply. While your circumstances may affect your options, we hope this informational resource helps, and encourage you to also seek personalized advice from qualified professionals.
Get a $10,000 grant in 3 days or less
The Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) is an emergency program offering small business loans up to $2M. It also includes a grant for eligible businesses to receive a cash advance of up to $10,000 that you're not required to repay.
-
Who should consider EIDL?Smaller businesses who require less cash Loans are available up to $2M per business. You may want to consider this option if you have less than $65k in annual operating costs—the advance may be greater than the loan forgiveness. You can qualify for up to $200k without a personal guarantee or collateral. Businesses who need immediate cash If the 3-day $10,000 disbursement will help you pay payroll, provide sick leave, or finance debt, you may want to consider this option.
-
Who's eligible?The CARES Act waives any existing rules related to the personal guarantee on advances and loans of not more than $200,000 during the period of January 31, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020. The CARES Act does not expressly mention collateral requirements and the existing collateral requirements for EIDL (which generally requires a collateral for loans exceeding $25,000) appear to apply. Under the CARES Act, no requirement that the applicant not be able to obtain credit elsewhere.

-
What factors are considered by the lender?The SBA may approve the applicant based solely on the applicant’s credit score and not require a tax return or tax return transcript or use alternative appropriate methods to determine the applicant’s ability to repay the loan.
-
What paperwork will I need?You'll just need your credit score and the new self-certification form—no tax returns required. The new form isn't available yet, but you can apply now using the standard form.
-
How soon will I see relief?The $10,000 grant will be administered within 3 days of submitting your application. Additional loan relief is being offered on a first come, first serve basis to businesses across all 50 states, so you may see longer wait times for loans.
Get 8 weeks of operating expenses back
The Paycheck Protection Loan (PPL) program offers approved business owners 100% federally guaranteed loans up to $10M and forgives up to the amount spent on operating expenses during the first 8 weeks of the loan. The amount of money from the loan you spend to cover payroll, rent, utilities, or mortgage payments and associated interest can be forgiven. Any other payments can be deferred by 6-12 months.
