basically the program is going to pay your expenses for 2 months, payroll utilities and rent/mortgage as long as your employment remains the same the loan is forgiven up till 10 million, my question to you if your company wasn't really effected or possibly prospered from what's going on would you take the money?

If my company greatly benefited from this, then no i would not. I don't think there are a lot of companies that will benefit from covid.
We are looking at the requirements, and we check off all the boxes to receive the forgivable loan. We are from going under, which is why i am a little hesitant, but my CPA and book-keeper are telling me it is a no-brainer to do it. It's not like i am going to use the money to pay for my penis reduction surgery.

an example know a guy whos company has something to do with online classes, tech support etc. they are booming right now, they qualify for the loan , it will easily be forgiven they check all the boxes the money will drop straight to the bottom line. he told me could be about a 3.5 million windfall

You absolutely should if you have been affected negatively. While the majority of companies are really getting crushed, there are more than you think that are doing well because they supply staples or services that are not affected.

The biggest problem is that it caps the number of employees at 500. There are also some stimulus measures for large corporations (airline, travel, manufacturing, etc.). Where does that leave the middle market companies? SOL.

He has every right to take the money if he qualifies, but if i were him and business was benefiting strictly b/c people need to be isolated...i would probably pass. It is an interesting question..for the record i can't blame if he does...how many opportunities like this come up ever

Let's say there are 30,000,000 small business in America, how many do you think are directly benefiting from this? If we are within 100 of each other, i will buy you case of your favorite beer.
It is going to be very interesting how fast that $350B goes that is earmarked for this PPP...

I have no idea, but c-stores, for example, are mostly small businesses/smaller franchises and are doing incredibly well.

So there's no box to check about a drop in revenue? If that's the case, they need to fix that quick.
 
hedge funds, private equity firms, are no doubt hiring accountants to help them max this out as we speak.

if i understand correctly, the money is first come first serve till it's gone.

Joe Small Business guy has no chance against the pros.

Trump’s Company Seeks to Ease Financial Crunch as Coronavirus Takes Toll
As companies nationwide look for relief, the Trump Organization has talked with Deutsche Bank and a Florida county about delaying payments on some loans and other obligations.

President Trump’s family company is among those looking for help.

With some of its golf courses and hotels closed amid the economic lockdown, the Trump Organization has been exploring whether it can delay payments on some of its loans and other financial obligations, according to people familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by The New York Times.
Representatives of Mr. Trump’s company have recently spoken with Deutsche Bank, the president’s largest creditor, about the possibility of postponing payments on at least some of its loans from the bank.

Other companies may be able to tap into a $500 billion rescue fund that will be administered by the Treasury Department. But the economic bailout package, which Mr. Trump signed into law last week, specifically barred the president and his family from access to that money.

Deutsche Bank has lent Mr. Trump and his companies about $2 billion since 1998, the only mainstream financial institution consistently willing to do business with Mr. Trump and his companies. At the time he became president, Mr. Trump owed the bank about $350 million, including on loans to buy and renovate the Doral golf resort near Miami and to develop a luxury hotel in the Old Post Office building in Washington.

Both properties are suffering in the economic shutdown. In response to Miami-Dade County’s rules, the Doral resort has ceased all operations, while the Washington hotel continues to operate, albeit with few guests and with its restaurant and bar closed. The Trump Organization rents the Washington property from the federal government, and the company had been soliciting bids from potential buyers for the lease, a process that is now on hold, The Washington Post reported.

Mr. Trump received the loans for those properties, as well as another related to his Chicago skyscraper, from 2012 to 2015. Because of his history of defaults and bankruptcies, Deutsche Bank insisted that Mr. Trump provide personal guarantees on those loans, meaning that the bank has recourse to his personal assets if he were to stop paying back the money.

Ever since Mr. Trump’s election, Deutsche Bank executives have been fretting about what would happen if he were to default, according to bank officials. Seizing the president’s personal assets would be an unattractive proposition. But opting not to collect on the loans would be the equivalent of an enormous financial gift to Mr. Trump, whose administration wields enormous power over the bank. Deutsche Bank’s operations in the United States are supervised by federal regulators, and the Justice Department has been conducting a criminal investigation of the bank.

Not surprising. Hospitality hit hard and can't carry out or deliver.

If people like your friend take the money when not needed then yes it could have a negative backlash. I believe we (I work for a community bank that is approved to offer the "pay check" loan) have taken over 200 applications and have been able to fund most of what have been worked. Keep in mind that is 200 applications in just over one business day. There is some burden of proof after the 8 weeks to see what part of the loan is "forgivable" and what part needs to be paid back. If used correctly it could have a good affect if used improperly it could have a negative effect that will be bad.
