CARES Act highlights
CARES Act appropriates $349 billion to the 7(a) SBA loan program
Maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) 2.5x the average monthly payroll over the proceeding 12 months and (ii) $10 million. The loans will be 100% guaranteed by the SBA for the life of the loan.
Expands the allowable uses of 7(a) to include: (i) payroll costs, (ii) costs related to the continuation of health care benefits during periods of paid sick, medical, or family leave, and insurance premiums (iii) employee salaries or commissions (iv) payments of interest on mortgage obligations, rent (including rent under a lease obligation), (vi) utilities and (vii) interest on any other debt obligations incurred prior to February 15, 2020.
Loans will be administered and serviced by existing banks and lenders enrolled in the SBA 7(a) program. The legislation delegates the authority to lenders on determining eligibility without requiring them to go through all of the usual SBA channels.
Why National Business Capital & Services?
To determine eligibility, the CARES Act requires lenders to determine (i) whether a business was operational on February 15, 2020, (ii) whether the business had employees for whom it paid salaries and payroll taxes, and (iii) whether the business has been substantially impacted by COVID-19.
The loans will be unsecured and will not prime existing debt instruments in terms of payment priority. The loans will also not require personal guarantees from owners of borrowers.
The businesses may be eligible for 7(a) loans under the CARES Act include small businesses with 500 or fewer employees, except for the hospitality and restaurant industry (NAIC Sector 72) with more than one physical location and with no more than 500 employees per physical location. The legislation also waives affiliation rules for businesses in the hospitality and restaurant industries and small businesses that receive financing through the Small Business Investment Company program. See PDF pg. 15-16 for language details.
Statue provides a process by which borrowers would be may be eligible for loan forgiveness in an amount equal to the amount spent by the borrower during an 8 week period after the origination date of the loan on the following items: (i) payroll costs, (ii) interest payment on any mortgage incurred prior to Feb 15, (iii) payment of rent on any lease in force prior to Feb 15, (iv) payment on any utility for which service began prior to Feb 15.
The amount forgiven would be reduced in proportion to any reduction in employees retained compared to the prior year and to the reduction in pay of any employee beyond 25% of his/her prior year compensation. Borrowers that rehire workers previously laid off after March 1, 2020 will not be penalized for having reduced payroll at the beginning of the period.
A borrower will be required to submit a fulsome application in support of loan forgiveness directly to the lender. The lender will make a determination on the application (subject to a statutory safe harbor) within 60 days of receipt; within 90 days after the loan forgiveness amount has been determined, the SBA will reimburse the lender directly for the principal amount of any forgiven debt, plus interest accrued through the date of repayment. SBA will issue additional implementation guidance and regulations regarding the loan forgiveness process within 30 days after enactment of the CARES Act.
Additional details include the following:
A borrower that receives a 7(a) loan will not be able to receive an SBA economic injury disaster loan for the same purpose.
Eligible borrowers required to make a good faith certification that they have been affected by COVID-19 and will use the funds to retain workers and maintain payroll.Borrower and lender fees for 7(a) loans would be waived. The “credit elsewhere” test and collateral and personal guarantee requirements would be waived.
