PPP open to businesses with fewer than 20 employees for 14 days

Starting February 24, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will be open only to businesses with fewer than 20 employees for 14 days. During this time, lenders will be able to focus on our smallest and most vulnerable businesses.

The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is making technical assistance a priority, so please take advantage of their webinars and reaching out to our local Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
