Paycheck Protection Program

Paycheck Protection Program

Bank of Botetourt is an approved SBA lender, and we value all of our small business customers. The Small Business Administration (SBA) has communicated that Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funding has been exhausted and that the PPP application portal has stopped accepting applications for loans. Therefore, Bank of Botetourt is unable to accept or process any First or Second Draw PPP applications at this time. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

All forgiveness applications and information should be sent to the covidloan@bankofbotetourt.com email address.

Loan Details

The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.

The SBA may forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses.

  • PPP loans have an interest rate of 1%.
  • Loans issued prior to June 5 have a maturity of 2 years. Loans issued after June 5 have a maturity of 5 years.
  • Loan payments will be deferred for borrowers who apply for loan forgiveness until SBA remits the borrower's loan forgiveness amount to the lender. If a borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, payments are deferred 10 months after the end of the covered period for the borrower’s loan forgiveness (either 8 weeks or 24 weeks).
  • No collateral or personal guarantees are required.
  • Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees.

PPP Loan Forgiveness Resources

As part of Bank of Botetourt’s ongoing efforts to help small businesses overcome the unprecedented challenges of forced closures and subsequent loss of revenue, we want to help you maximize your loan forgiveness opportunity. Please see below for information about how to apply for Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness along with additional resources to help you prepare for forgiveness.

Loan Details and Forgiveness

SBA will forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 60% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll).

Loan Forgiveness

Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease. The loan forgiveness form and instructions include several measures to reduce compliance burdens and simplify the process for borrowers, including:

  • Options for borrowers to calculate payroll costs using an “alternative payroll covered period” that aligns with borrowers’ regular payroll cycles
  • Flexibility to include eligible payroll and non-payroll expenses paid or incurred during the 24-week period after receiving their PPP loan
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to perform the calculations required by the CARES Act to confirm eligibility for loan forgiveness
  • Borrower-friendly implementation of statutory exemptions from loan forgiveness reduction based on rehiring by June 30
  • Addition of a new exemption from the loan forgiveness reduction for borrowers who have made a good-faith, written offer to rehire workers that was declined
