SBA Paycheck Protection Program

The Coronavirus Aid Relief & Economic Security (CARES) Act offers federal guaranteed loans to businesses with fewer than 500 employees to cover payroll and other essential costs. We’re here to help you navigate through the complexities.

Small Business Paycheck Protection Program (SBA PPP)

To be eligible, you must have a lending relationship with Farm Credit Southern Colorado as of February 15, 2020. Let us help straighten out all the confusions with the Colorado SBA PPP when it comes to ag loans:

Fully Forgiven

Funds are provided in the form of loans and are eligible to be fully forgiven* when used for payroll costs (at least 75%), interest on mortgages, rent and utilities.

Keep or Rehire Employees

Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or salaries or wages decrease.

Limited Availability

As of January 11th, 2021, you can now apply for round two of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Independent contractors and self-employed individuals can apply. We encourage you to apply as quickly as you can because there is a funding cap.

The Paycheck Protection Program ended on May 31, 2021.

Existing borrowers may be eligible for PPP loan forgiveness.
