The federal Paycheck Protection Program was meant to help small businesses keep their employees on payroll, and to pay utilities, rent, interest, health insurance and pension contributions. The PPP loan maximum is generally 2.5 times the monthly average for a business's last 12 months (or 2019) expenses for payroll, health insurance and pension contributions. A key allure of the program is that the loan can be forgiven under certain conditions.
