Are you looking to have your Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiven? We've checked with every fintech and bank to compile a list of PPP lenders accepting forgiveness applications right now.
Editor's note: On Tuesday, May 4th the PPP ran out of general funds and the SBA stopped accepting new PPP loan applications. A reserve of funds is still available for community financial institutions that lend to businesses run by women, minorities, and underserved communities. Additionally, a reserve of funds remains for applications previously submitted but not yet reviewed by the SBA. If you have already submitted your loan application, however, this does not guarantee you funding.
If you received your PPP loan in 2021, you may want to wait until you've accumulated more eligible expenses during your covered period in order to maximize your forgiveness amount.
