PPP Forgiveness Webinar - August 11

Brevard Business Community COVID-19 Response Team will host a webinar discussing the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) forgiveness application. Leslie Tibbitts of Community Credit Union will walk small business owners through the forgiveness application and share some tools that they can use to ensure they are prepared.  This webinar will take place on Tuesday, August 11th at 1:00pm. Businesses may want to review the application prior to the webinar and come prepared to ask questions.

Since the launch of the program in April through to July 6, nearly 5,500 lenders made 4.9 million loans with an average of $106,000, totaling $521 billion in funding for small businesses that might have otherwise failed. According to the SBA, these loans went to companies and helped preserve over 51 million jobs nationwide. That is about 84% of the nation’s small business payroll. If your business received PPP funds, this is one webinar you will not want to miss.
