Flashback to the weekend of March 20th, the world seemed to have shut down overnight. With the escalation of the Covid-19 virus going from an outbreak on a cruise ship to a worldwide pandemic we all found ourselves in a halt we never knew was possible. The team here at Peak knew there were going to be many changes on the horizon and hurdles our communities were going to need to jump over especially within the banking industry. At the heart of our economy is our community banks where everyone turns for assistance and financial guidance during their time of need.
Fast forward to April, with the announcement of the CARES Act, which created the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP program administered by the SBA gave community banks the opportunity to support their local businesses through federal assistance of SBA 7(a) loans. Some of our clients had previously handled SBA loans while others were brand new to them. Either way the rules of the game were going to be different and information was changing daily. We knew it would be important to provide as much clarity as possible to our banks through writing blogs and participating in partnership webinars.
