2nd Draw PPP Loans Open Now!

Small Business Administration


Notice: Exclusivity period for the very smallest businesses & other changes

A 14-day exclusivity period for businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 20 employees will begin on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, at 9 a.m. ET and end on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, at 5 p.m. ET.

All applications already submitted by lenders to SBA before the start of the exclusivity period will still be processed by SBA. During the two-week period, SBA will not accept new applications from lenders for businesses and nonprofits with 20 or more employees, so that lenders can focus on serving smaller companies. Once the exclusivity period ends, lenders will be able to submit PPP loan applications for all eligible businesses and nonprofits again.

Additional PPP changes promoting equitable relief for the smallest of small businesses are to be implemented in early March.
