We're in this together.

January 19th Update
On January 19, 2021, the SBA announced a new requirement relating to the documentation borrowers must provide to demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in revenue.
Applicants with loan amounts greater than $150,000 will be required to sign and date—thereby attesting the accuracy of the information provided within—the first page of financial statements and initial all other pages of the documents provided to the SBA to validate their having at least a 25% reduction in revenues.
