Small Business can get a second PPP but not EIDL loan  From: CNBC  by Greg Iacurci 01/15/21 KEY POINTs Small businesses that took a hit from the  coronavirus pandemic  will be able to draw a  second Paycheck Protection Program loan . But the same isn’t true for another popular Covid-era funding source for entrepreneurs.

From INC>COM JAN 14, 2021  NEWSLETTERS SUBSCRIBE CASH FLOW EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A SECOND-DRAW PPP LOAN By: Brit Morse   After relaunching the   Paycheck Protection Program   to select lenders on January 11, today is the first day that second-draw PPP borrowers--that is, those who've already exhausted a first PPP loan--will get another shot at the refundable loan program aimed at struggling small businesses.  While businesses will have access to about $284 billion in program funds this time around, the money could go quickly. The first $349 billion loan program provided under the Cares Act  ran out in a mere two weeks  after it opened in April 2020.

PPP-eligible lenders with less than $1 billion in assets can begin sending loans to the SBA for approval Friday, and the program will reopen to lenders of all sizes Tuesday, the agency said. The head start for smaller lenders  is intended  to ensure that smaller businesses can obtain PPP loans after many were unable to do so during the first round of disbursement in 2020. President Trump  in December signed a bipartisan coronavirus relief bill allocating another $284 billion for the PPP, which offers loans to small businesses that can be entirely forgiven if used to retain workers and cover basic operating expenses. The SBA has issued 4.9 million PPP loans since the program opened in April and has...
