The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was an SBA-backed loan that helps businesses keep their workforce employed during the COVID-19 crisis.
PPP provided loans to small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies with less than 500 employees, sole-proprietorships, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals could qualify for these loans, according to Harvard Business School.
According to Adam Shake the CEO and President of the Estes Park EDC, these loans were for employers, sole proprietors and self-employed people to help pay employee wages. The loan paperwork went through loan departments at banking institutions as per guidelines and were thoroughly vetted by both the banks and the federal government.
A preliminary analysis from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests the areas most affected by economic disruption did not receive the most loans.
The Paycheck Protection Program ended on May 31, 2021. Existing borrowers may be eligible for loan forgiveness at the discretion of the lender.
There were 34 Paycheck Protection Program loans provided in April to small businesses in ZIP Code 80517, according to the US Small Business Administration.
