Small Business Administration (SBA) Loan Resources

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering various relief options for small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of COVID-19. We understand this issue is rapidly evolving and will continue updating this page with the latest information available to us. We encourage you to visit the SBA website for additional information or contact your local BKD Trusted Advisor™.
Paycheck Protection Program
Assistance for Small Businesses
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) prioritizes millions of Americans employed by small businesses by authorizing up to $659 billion toward job retention and certain other expenses. Small businesses, specific nonprofit organizations, certain tribal businesses and self-employed individuals and independent contractors are eligible if they meet program size standards. The PPP has generated huge interest but also operational challenges and continued questions on eligibility and loan forgiveness.
