PPP UPDATES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8
“A company that might have been ineligible in early April could be eligible in May or June,” he said. Asset Enhancement Solutions provides not just consulting services, but also functions as an agent for a number of different lenders and a “trouble-shooter,” Seiden said. While lenders and agents are not prohibited from charging applicants a fee for accepting and processing PPP loans, and lenders get a processing fee from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the Long Island-based firm does not charge for many of its PPP-related services. “We discussed it as a team, and we unanimously decided that it was our obligation to help businesses,” Seiden said. “It’s our way of giving back to the business community and the community at large.” Last week, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act to provide more help to small businesses and nonprofits that apply. According to Seiden, the new law changes the cover period of the loan from eight weeks to 24 weeks, ending on December 31. Initially, businesses that receive a PPP loan had to use 75 percent of the funds for payroll purposes. The new law lowers that amount to 60 percent, which allows businesses to use the funds on other expenses like rent, lease payments and interest. Any part of the loan that is not forgiven will now be paid back over a five-year period, instead of a two-year period. That lowers the monthly payment for applicants. Seiden said the flexibility will eventually allow companies to convert close to 100 percent of the loan into a grant that will be forgiven. “It’s really a win-win for companies,” he said. “It’s a way to get some free money to keep them afloat until things get back to normal.”
