Do you know about the PPP Safe Harbor?  We encourage you to read about it!

The recently published FAQ 46 provides a ‘safe harbor’ when getting a PPP loan. 

• Any borrower receiving a loan under 2 million dollars will be deemed to have requested the loan in good faith.
• The FAQ goes on to say, for any PPP loan where the borrower did NOT act in good faith (even if over $2M).  “If the borrower repays the loan … SBA will not pursue administrative enforcement or referrals to other agencies …”

The details are below, and you should read it for yourself here.

Answer: When submitting a PPP application, all borrowers must certify in good faith that “[c]urrent economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant.” SBA, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, has determined that the following safe harbor will apply to SBA’s review of PPP loans with respect to this issue: Any borrower that, together with its affiliates, received PPP loans with an original principal amount of less than $2 million will be deemed to have made the required certification concerning the necessity of the loan request in good faith. SBA has determined that this safe harbor is appropriate because borrowers with loans below this threshold are generally less likely to have had access to adequate sources of liquidity in the current economic environment than borrowers that obtained larger loans.
