RECEIVED PPP LOAN – DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT & FOLLOW THE RULES
- You may want to set up a separate bank account to keep a clean and neat paper trail – moving it to your payroll account or even writing yourself a weekly check if you are the sole prop (and have taken draws in the past).
- Rehire employees as after you receive the PPP loan, you only have until June 30, 2020, to restore your full-time employment and salary levels for any changes made between Feb. 15, 2020, and April 26, 2020.
- Loans can be used for a variety of expenses including:
- Operating expenses, such as payroll, rent, lease payments, utilities and mortgage interest obligations.
- Payroll costs that may include wages, salaries, retirement contributions, health care benefits, insurance premiums, covered leave and other expenses. 75% for loan forgiveness, plan for 80-90% to make sure you give yourself leeway.
Please note that it becomes a loan that is not forgiven if all i’s not dotted & t’s not crossed.
