Mark Schmidt is CEO of Fund-Ex Solutions Group, which has helped over 1,300 small businesses, including dental practices, secure over $150 million worth of PPP loans.
In this chat with Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz, Schmidt explains that the new PPP2 loans are being rolled out in phases, and the bulk will become available on Tuesday, January 19.
He provides an overview of what the new round of loans will look like, and the differences between the first and second rounds of loans. The second round is bigger because there’s more demand. More people are applying because the pandemic has lasted much longer than anyone predicted.
Dr. Pam asks if dentists will have to pay back these loans. Schmidt said most health-care professionals should be able to qualify for forgiveness if they follow all of the rules.
He explains the criteria and what applicants can expect, and provides a brief overview of the application process. Learn more from this PPP loan expert and whether or not you qualify for a PPP2 loan.
