Second-draw PPP loans available

Business owners who have received a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program may be eligible for the P3 Second Draw Loan.
At least $ 25 billion is set aside for eligible borrowers with a maximum of 10 employees, or for loans of $ 250,000 or less to eligible borrowers in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
The same general loan conditions apply as first-draw PPP loans with some modifications.
The Second Draw Paycheck Protection Program can be used to help fund salary costs, including benefits. The funds can also be used to pay mortgage interest, rent, utilities, worker protection costs related to COVID-19, costs of uninsured property damage caused by looting or vandalism in 2020, and some supplier costs and expenses for operations.
Here’s what small business owners need to know about this loan.
