🔸set your own schedule

Congress proposes three #setasides for #PPP funding:
(1) at least 10% for #smallbiz with fewer than 10 employees OR for certain loans made to biz in low- and mod-income areas
(2) < 30% for nonprofits, housing coops, and hotels/restaurants
(3) < 50% for supplemental PPP loans.

Also similarly reserves the lesser of 25% or $15B of the unused #PPP loans appropriations for loans by Community Financial Institutions.
Quick #SmallBiz Overview on #HeroesAct2:
- #PPP extended until 12/31/2020
- New PPP #SetAsides for: (A) Businesses with fewer than 10 employees (including self-employed); (B) Nonprofits, Hotels, Restaurants, Franchisees, and SBIC-funded; and (C) Supplemental Draws on PPP . . .

Despite weeks of stalled negotiations, Congress seems poised to agree on a #COVID19 relief package in the coming days. The deal would likely provide additional disaster funding for #smallbiz, including targeted relief for restaurants, hotels, theaters, and the airlines . . .
. . . as well as another opportunity for #PaycheckProtectionProgram loans. Individuals may also see extended unemployment benefits and possibly another stimulus check. There’s also separate legislation extending #CARESAct subsidies Keep an eye out for more signs of compromise!
Twice this week, Sec. Mnuchin and @federalreserve Chair Powell have expressed the need for additional aid for #smallbiz, including a second disbrusement of #PPP loans — even suggesting targeted aid for restaurants, hotels, and other specific industries . . .
The next #COVID19 stimulus will likely have additional aid for #smallbiz, but with additional segmentation and requirements.
- Biz with less than 20 ppl
- Restaurants & Hotels (i.e. Sector72)
- #MinorityOwned & Rural Biz
Each will likely have a specific carve out in the bill . .

Specific to @federalreserve’s #MainStreetLending programs, we may see modifications on eligibility, personal guarantees, and lender requirements to help unclog this funding channel for #smallbiz and “larger” #SMBs . . .
NEW THREAD: The impact of #COVID19 on #smallbiz has been catastrophic. According to 2 new analyses from @SHamiltonian and @HamiltonProj:
From mid-March to mid-May 2020, > 40% of all small businesses closed, causing revenues to drop 40% on average #COVIDEconomy
By mid-July, more than 420,000 small businesses had permanently closed—equivalent to the # of failures typically seen over a whole year. #COVIDEconomy #SmallBiz
During prayer this morning I rejoiced because I'm not #homeless. The last time we had a politically motivated #financial recession, the pres bailed out banks & big corps instead of the citizens. Contrast 2009 with this year. And, yes, it should be obvious to any thinking person
that we have a severe economic disruption every decade. Why is that? Is it b/c there's a new admin every 8 years? Yes and no. Perhaps we should amend the law so @realDonaldTrump can remain in office until Jan 2029 so we can KAG permanently. Make it so, LORD God Yehovah!
@realDonaldTrump Americans are waking up to realize how blatantly demonic, lifelong politicians mess around with the country's financials to create the appearance of disaster so they can shuffle #money where they want it. This one backfired big time, though, b/c DJT loves the country and people.
Excited to participate in @CathULaw’s #COVID19 and Rescuing Small Business alongside Prof. Megan La Belle and @PilieroMazza’s Cy Alba. Join us on July 30 at 5:30PM as we discuss the #CARES Act, #PPP, #APA, and other legal topics. For more info, visit law.edu/news-and-event….
@ABAAdLaw Hope our colleagues focused on administrative law issues can join us on Thursday! The #CARES Act waived APA 553’s notice and comment, but what about APA 552? Does #PPP’s economic need prong contradict the Act? Tune in to hear more!
@TheBigBidTheory Looks like another round of #PPP funding may become available for millions of #smallbiz under Sens. Rubio and Collins’ plan. Hopefully we can avoid the administrative pitfalls we saw in the first attempt.
Btw, speaking sending stuff and sharing things ...

The 3 financial statements businesses issue to report their financial performance are:
1⃣ Cash Flow Statements
2⃣ Balance Sheets
3⃣ Income Statements

1. CASH FLOW STATEMENT
1a) The cash flow statement shows actual cash inflows and outflows of a business over time. 📈
It basically measures how well a company manages its cash. @noahparsons and @Bplans explain cash flow statements in this article:

.@RepMaxineWaters is explaining how small business owners of color have largely been excluded from #CARESACt and paycheck protection program relief funds.
To equip #smallbiz owners with information to receive relief, LDF published a CARES Act guide: bit.ly/CARESActSmallB…

On 5/13, #SBA provided some relief for #smallbiz concerned with possible SBA audits, particularly related to “economic need” certifications and the “good faith” safe harbor. But, #PPP loan recipients did not receive a full reprieve from all challenges. kaneesq.com/insights/ppp-l…
Despite the grace for “economic need” certifications, #SBA audits and post-hoc reviews still present significant risks for borrowers and even lenders, regardless of the #PPP loan amount.
Borrowers of less than $2 million should still prepare for potential #SBA audits and post-hoc reviews, particularly if they apply for #PPP loan #forgiveness. These reviews will likely require borrowers to substaniate size, #affiliations, #NAICS code, and even #creditworthiness.
In today’s installment of “How can we use COVID as a way to ban abortion?" the bodyguards of misogyny in the Senate are proposing that paycheck protection expands to churches like The Little Brothers of the Pray-the-Gay-Away and explicitly excludes abortion providers.
Yep. Providers of abortion, an essential medical service that 1 in 4 women will get in their lifetime, are SHUT OUT while the youth minister organizing the protests outside of these clinics is all… #Covid19 #PPP

So if you have a pin left in your political voodoo doll, stick it in hard knowing that in the game of who gets a paycheck and who doesn’t, politicians wanna make sure the CHURCH THAT PAYS NO TAXES, gets help before the small business that does. #smallbiz #smallbusiness
