Forgivable loan / Retain K&K now for loan forgiveness program

Forgivable loan /  Retain K&K now for loan forgiveness
*****************************
             You have been affected by this crisis.  Everyone has.  Maybe your employees the most.  The stimulus package is designed as a give back to small businesses.  You don't have to read between the lines of the law to see that it's the employees, especially those making less than $100K annually, and the landlords who are to be cared for.  Most of the loan money goes for payroll and rent.  Of course that's a great benefit to any business owner, especially when business may be so slow that normal payroll is unnecessary.  
​             You owe it to yourself and your employees to get the PPP loan.  Even if you're sitting with sufficient funds in your business to survive the crisis, you are eligible for the PPP funding.  You need to move on this because we know that funding is limited and we don't know if additional funds will be made available.
             
If you're on the fence, get off.  If you've had bad experience with SBA before, that's not surprising.  But this is different.  If managed properly you will be able to get this loan without too much hassle.  You most likely qualify.  
             If you are careful how you spend the loan proceeds we will be able to get the debt forgiven.  That means you get the money, use it for payroll, rent and other approved expenses for 8 weeks, and then we process the loan forgiveness.  If you want to retain the loan and use the money for other purposes the loan will be for 10 years at 4% per annum.  But our goal is to get the loan forgiven.   Contact Stacy Spector,Esq today at 516 747 6700 x 304or email her at SSPector@KirschenbaumEsq.com.  We will immediately get the process started.  

            The loan can be sizable; 2 1/2 times your average monthly payroll for past 12 months. Use the money to pay your employees, rent and other permitted expenses.
            Getting the loan may be the easy part, though I believe you need to act quickly because I think the funding for the PPP is going to dry up fast and loans won't be available.
            The hard part may be getting the loan forgiven.  
K&K has established a dedicated department to advise and assist our clients with the PPP application and process
