Update

President Biden announced on Monday that the Small Business Administration will accept PPP loan applications only from businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 20 employees from Wednesday, February 24 at 9 a.m. Eastern through Tuesday, March 9. In 2021, more than 90% of our PPP loans have been to businesses with fewer than 20 employees.

We will continue to accept applications from all clients, but the SBA won’t review those from larger clients until March 10. The SBA will continue to review all applications it receives before 9 a.m. Eastern on February 24.  

• Open a Chase business checking account here or at your local branch, if you don’t have one. You’ll need an active business checking account to apply with us. It may take up to 10 days upon account opening before you are able to apply for a PPP loan. You can apply on the 11^th business day.

• You are an authorized representative who can borrow on behalf of the business.
  

• You have an active Chase Business Checking account.
  

• Must have been in business as of February 15, 2020 and your business hasn’t been permanently closed.

• If applying as a franchise, you will need to enter the SBA Franchise Identifier Code at the time of application. You can find that code at sba.gov/sba-franchise-directory.  If your franchise isn’t on the directory, please contact your local SBA District Office to help you get it added.

• You should review the requirements and guidance provided by the SBA for complete information regarding the PPP. The SBA continues to release updated guidance.  For the most updated  PPP rules, requirements and other information, visit SBA.gov and Treasury.gov.  You may also want to contact your accountant, attorney or other trusted advisors.
