Lalchandani Simon PL is Helping Eligible Businesses Navigate the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act

The federal government has implemented the $2 trillion dollar Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") to provide economic relief to businesses affected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The CARES Act created a new program within the Small Business Administration's ("SBA") 7(a) Loan Program called the Paycheck Protection Program. The SBA will be implementing regulations over the coming days on PPP loans which Lalchandani Simon PL will be closely monitoring. The PPP will authorize up to $10 million per business in loans for qualified businesses available up until June 30, 2020.  The application itself is not yet live as of the date of this post, and we will be providing updates as the process officially begins.
