    So i thought i would share some Info on the PPP Loan...
    If you get approved this month your first payment doesn't start till Dec.
    Interest rate of 1%
    My loan will be paid back in 18 payments if i don't pay myself 75%...
    Loan payments of $630 a month with the first payment in Dec.. IF you are late its $150 late fee
    At 1% interest thats some cheap money so make sure to apply if you need it. Even if you don't use it for Payroll pay off some higher loans u might have and then just pay back the PPP loan lol

    So I’m assuming you got approximately $11k. Not bad, if you manage it right. I don’t trust myself, honestly. Too easy to “borrow” a little from myself, and not pay it back. I’ve got about that much parked on a 0 % credit card. Better for me to stick with my plan to pay it off, most of it anyways before the % jumps up. Tempting though, very tempting.

    Correct just a little over 11k I got an APU loan thats got a higher interest on it. Gonna hold the money for 5-6 weeks in the bank just in-case the gov does something weird then by the 8th week ill have it spent. I Got that plus some put back but hey its hard to pass up on almost free money like that. Plus plenty of ways to not have to pay that back for example pay urself 75% then use the other 25% on a lease and bam free 11k xD

    I agree, basically free money. If used correctly. My State expanded Unemployment for 1099/ and self employed. I filed, for 1 check so far. Good thing, it’s saving Us right now. Hoping to be working steady soon, but no guarantees in life. Best to be prepared. Glad you got approved. First I’ve heard of the repayment plan. Good info.

    What kind of documentation do you have to have to pay yourself at least 75% ?

    That way you don’t have to pay it back....? Is that correct?

    I have an account where all my business revenue is deposited. That's where the PPP will be deposited. Then over the following 8 weeks, I will show even weekly transfers to my personal spending account.

    I Figure transfer $1,000 a week and that should be good :p Money still won't be spent till im ready to spend it but its still there. My biggest problem i have a habit on just using my business card instead of transferring money to my personal account lol

    question, does anyone know if a truck payment, trailer payment, insurance, and such can be used as the 25% or the ppp?
