    My buddy is an O/O leased to a local company. He's buying the truck from them, hauls for them exclusively. Typically, he gets like 10-15 loads per week. However, this spring it was more like 2-4 per week due to the Covid shutdowns, and he's going through financial hardship.

    I've told him to look into the small business loans the government is/was offering, but he's seemingly convinced he wouldn't be eligible or whatever. He's really depressed and the idea of dealing with all the government paperwork and crap seems overwhelming to him. ("There's not going to be any help for guys like me" blah blah blah).

    I'm looking at the government websites to get info on eligibility, but everything there these are oriented towards businesses that have employees, not solo operators.

    Does anyone have any knowledge/experience getting any small business loans or grants or anything out of the Covid-19 programs? Any websites or programs or anything I can point him towards?

    He's a little late. PPP for employers with employees. Very little paperwork. He can try for eidl but again probably too late now. I allpied in March just not getting approved. Theyre about out of money

    He can apply now, and he will get it. Has to have a schedule c. Maybe a 1099. A feb 2020 bank statement. Divide the amount on schedule c by 12. Times that amount by 2.5, that’s how much he will get. The deadline has been extended til August 8th? I believe. But it takes a while, better apply ASAP.

    Bluevine, seems to be the best lender to use. All online. Some smaller Banks, and Credit Unions May also be good. New rules for the extension include,60% of the loans get processed through small banks, for small businesses.

    Your a good friend. Just remember you can lead him to water, but he’s gotta be the one to drink.

    Does he pay himself on payroll?

    Remember if using schedule C, it's the NET profit divided by 12 mos for an average, not the gross revenue for the year.
