    Congrats, that's good to know. Any particular factor that made you comfortable making it a secured loan? I respect your opinion and will use your knowledge to decide the amount I end up choosing if I am indeed approved.

    The secured loan agreement was really not much different than any other commercial loan I've gotten. I already have an SBA 7(a) loan on my truck and I can assure you, the loan agreement, between the bank and the SBA was as or even more detailed than this EIDL loan. That's just my take though.

    One thing is for sure, it appears there's a LOT of misinformation that floats around on the Interwebs regarding this stuff. It includes fearmongering, misdirection, secondhand propagation from those that haven't even received a loan offer from the EIDL or PPP programs.

    I think I posted a link for the PPP loan forgiveness application somewhere. If not, it's here Paycheck Protection Program Loan Forgiveness Application

    My bank encouraged me to download the pdf for the application and to familiarize myself with what they're requiring for documentation on the loan forgiveness side. It reads like a typical government produced worksheet application or tax return. There's 11 total pages that include calculation worksheets, definition of terms, etc.

    If you're not well organized and used to this stuff, you might wanna prepare to have someone help you fill it out ;-)

    Still waiting to hear back after accepting the offer. Yours may have gone quicker since you already had a SBA loan.

    Nah, I would imagine it will be several days for the dough to hit the bank. Especially since this is Memorial weekend.

    So is the EIDL loan gonna be tied to the personal credit and showed up on the credit report? Because PPP is not
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    Are you talking about monthly reporting to the credit bureaus? I know that the initial application for EIDL, a credit pull was done on my file. As far as continued reporting, I have no idea.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    A friend called me today. He told me he received a $105,000 EIDL offer. His revenue last year was $233,000. He also has a very good credit score.
