administration kind of did some changes to the ppp loan so that smaller businesses and self-employed people can get some help and get some funding so back on february 24th the sba started the 14-day exclusive ppp application period for businesses and non-profits with fewer than 20 employees this will give lenders and community partners more time to work with the smallest businesses to submit their applications while also ensuring that larger ppp eligible businesses will still have plenty of time to apply for and receive support before the program expires on march 31st 2021 so there also has been four additional changes to the ppp to more underserved small businesses than ever before so they're gonna allow sole proprietors independent contractors and self-employed individuals to receive more financial support by revising the ppp's funding formula for these categories of applicants also eliminate an exclusionary restriction on ppp access for small business owners with prior non-fraud felony convictions consistent with a bipartisan congressional proposal also eliminate ppp access restrictions on small business owners who have struggled to make student loan payments by eliminating student loan debt delinquency as a disqualifier to participating in the ppp so that's huge so people who didn't qualify before are going to be able to qualify and also they're going to ensure access for non-citizen small business owners lawful u.s residents by clarifying that they may use individual taxpayer identification number or itin to apply for the ppp so they've made changes so that more people can be able to apply for this loan and get funding so now we're going to talk about how you can actually get this loan forgiven therefore it will turn into a grant which is free money but you have to follow the rules in order for it to be forgivable so in order for your ppp loan to be forgivable you need to spend the money on payroll cost mortgage or qualified interest rent and utilities and also supplier costs worker protection extenders and operations expenditures so it has to fall in those categories now we're going to start the loan application process okay so let's go ahead and go through the application process so here is a bit of important information that was released by the sba yesterday on march 3rd this is straight from the sba so on page five under gross income it says the statuary definition of payroll costs applicable to sole proprietors and independent contractors refers to a wage commission income net earnings from self-employed or similar compensation and that is in an amount that is not more than a hundred thousand on an annual basis as prorated for the period during the or during which the payments are made or the obligation to make payments is secured previously ppp rules define payroll costs for individuals who file an irs form 1040 schedule c as payroll cost if employees exist plus net profits which is net earnings from self-employment so the sba is aware of significant concerns with this definition because it does not take into account fixed and other business expenses that a small business must cover to stay in operation and therefore keep the owner employed thus the support for employment for sole proprietors includes covering business expenses as well as net profits this change would affect many sole proprietors who have been effectively excluded from the ppp especially those with very little or negative net profit many of which are located in underserved communities businesses that file schedule c have higher concentration of ownership by members of underserved groups analysis by the sba office of advocacy of census data found that the firms with no employees are 70 owned by women and minorities compared to 40 for businesses with employees so the sba has determined that changing the calculation for sole proprietors independent contractors and self-employed individuals will reduce barriers to accessing the ppp and expand funding among the smallest businesses so it's looking like they're going to go off of gross sales or gross profit instead of net profit because a lot of people have had negative profit or very low profits from their analysis and also it says right here defining income to include gross income is consistent with congress's intent that the ppp provide broad relief to small businesses which they wasn't doing when this ppp loan stuff first started with the cares act last year so they are now fixing this mistake and correcting this mistake to help more people get relief and more people get funding so essentially that's in a nutshell this document is going to be in the description so you can read this for yourself this is 32 pages long i'm not going to read this entire thing i just wanted to read that part so that people can understand that they can get funding so they need to go ahead and apply right now before the deadline and also really quickly before we do the application the reason why people are saying twenty thousand dollar grants is because that it's capping at a hundred thousand dollars and if you divide 100 000 divided by 12 you will get 8 333 per month on average and if you times that by 2.5 which is the amount of the ppp loan that you can be eligible for is going to be 2.5 times your monthly gross so that comes out to 20 832.50 is the cap for self-employed people independent contractors sole proprietors single member llcs so if you click the first link down in the description it's going to take you directly to this
