ABL Advisor released a new video interview featuring Robert Katz, Managing Director, EisnerAmper. In this exclusive interview, Katz discusses the benefits and potentially significant risks for borrowers participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) included in the CARES Act. Additionally, we learn why some large banks lost customers to smaller regional banks as a result of this program.
The CARES Act was designed to help small businesses survive the coronavirus pandemic. As Katz outlines, under the provisions of the PPP, an applicant must certify in good faith that current economic uncertainty makes the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the applicant. However, failure to satisfy this certification can result in penalties, including criminal penalties, for knowingly making a false statement to obtain the loan.
