PPP Overview: first and second-time borrowers
First-time borrowers (including affiliates) in general:
Can have no more than 500 employees (or fewer or more for certain business types for certain SBA size standards)
Accommodations and Food Services companies with NAICS code 72 can have no more than 500 employees per physical location
The loan can be up to 2.5 times the business’ average monthly payroll costs, up to a $10 million loan maximum (or $20 million for a corporate group)
Second-time borrowers (including affiliates) in general:
Can have no more than 300 employees
Accommodations and Food Services companies with NAICS code 72 can have no more than 300 employees per physical location
The second loan can be up to 2.5 times the business’ average monthly payroll costs, up to a $2 million loan maximum (or $4 million for a corporate group)
Accommodations and Food Services companies with NAICS code 72 can borrow up to 3.5 times the business’ average monthly payroll costs, up to a $2 million loan maximum
The business must have experienced a revenue reduction of 25% or greater in 2020 relative to 2019. In general, a borrower may calculate this revenue reduction by comparing quarterly gross receipts for one quarter in 2020 with the gross receipts for the same quarter in 2019. A business that does not file quarterly or was not in operation for all four quarters of 2019 may still qualify; see the SBA guidelines for details.
- Used or will use the full amount of the first PPP loan for authorized purposes on or before the expected date of disbursement of the second PPP Loan
We are now accepting requests to increase first-time loans for the limited group of PPP borrowers eligible under SBA guidance. Visit SBA.gov for details.
