By Eric McDermott & Kelly Kidwell

If you were one of the thousands of registrants during last week’s webinar, then you know that we covered a lot of ground regarding the CARES Act $350 billion of programs for small businesses.

• What is happening with the SBA lender match website - is it going down or coming back?
• What more do we now know about how to apply, based on your business type?
• What clarifications are there for what counts as payroll expenses and what does not?
• Tell me again, what do I do with my 1099 contractors? What if I am one?
• Are people already getting checks, and what should you expect to receive?
• What if you make an honest mistake and find out you were wrong in your application?
• If you do not get your full PPP loan forgiven, can you roll it over into the extended 10 year loan?

• I also got an EIDL check, how do I make sure I keep the accounting right to avoid disqualifying my forgiveness?
• What are my forgivable expenses, and in what ratio to maximize forgiveness?
• Are there strategic ways I might maximize forgiveness, but also maximize my cash flow and productivity?
