SBA Program available for Small Businesses

To all our business clients,

SBA, a government agency, will be giving $50 billion in low interest loans to small businesses to help with the loss of revenue during the Coronavirus crisis.  There are also rumors that this amount will be increased to $300 billion in the next few days.

Even though the terms are great for businesses that can get the loan, we find the process to be very slow and not all applicants will obtain a loan since there are 30.2 million small businesses in the US.  Applicants should not expect fast results from the SBA.

Here is a summary of the program.  If you have any questions, please send an email to jeff@djkcpa.com or michael@djkcpa.com and our team will be happy to assist answer questions or help with the application.
