The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan is a type of Small Business Authority (SBA) loan designed to provide funds to help small businesses impacted by COVID-19 to keep their workers on the payroll. These loans may be completely forgiven if spent on eligible expenses (mainly payroll) during a specific time period.
