Business and Transactions

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) issued an Interim Final Rule with respect to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. In this rule, the SBA confirmed that the PPP loan applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to contact your lender and submit an application at your earliest convenience if you plan on participating in this loan program. Please note that the Interim Final Rule also increased the previously publicized interest rate on the loan from .5% to 1.0%.
