Paycheck Protection Program loans or PPP loans are loans governed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and administered through banks like us. All PPP loans have the same terms—a 1% interest rate and a 5-year term. If you use your PPP loan proceeds to fund certain items, like payroll, the entire loan can be forgiven.
Almost all businesses are eligible for PPP loans, including self-employed individuals and farmers. Non-profits and religious entities may also apply. Some special circumstances do exist, so we can help determine if you are eligible.
The application period is open now and extends through May 31, 2021.

Calculating Revenue Reduction
To be eligible for a Second Draw PPP loan, you must have experienced a revenue reduction (also referred to as gross receipt reduction) of 25% or greater in 2020 relative to 2019. To calculate this revenue reduction percentage, you should compare your quarterly gross receipts for one quarter in 2020 to the gross receipts of the corresponding quarter of 2019. For example, a borrower with gross receipts of $50,000 in the second quarter of 2019 and gross receipts of $30,000 in the second quarter of 2020 has experienced a revenue reduction of 40% between the quarters.
If your loan amount is less than $150,000, we will accept your attestation in lieu of any documentation of the 25% reduction. However, at the time you apply for forgiveness of the Second Draw PPP loan, the SBA will require you to provide the following information (only one set is required):
- Quarterly financial statements for the entity. If the financial statements are not audited, you must sign and date the first page of the financial statement and initial all other pages, attesting to their accuracy. If the financial statements do not specifically identify the line item(s) that constitute gross receipts, you must annotate which line item(s) constitute gross receipts.
- Quarterly or monthly bank statements for the entity showing deposits from the relevant quarters. You must annotate, if it is not clear, which deposits listed on the bank statement constitute gross receipts (e.g., payments for purchases of goods and services) and which do not (e.g., capital infusions).
- Annual IRS income tax filings of the entity. If the entity has not yet filed a tax return for 2020, you must fill out the return forms, compute the relevant gross receipts value, and sign and date the return, attesting that the values that enter into the gross receipts computation are the same values that will be filed on the entity’s tax return.
