Chattanooga forum offers aid for small businesses seeking new Paycheck Protection Program loans and other business news

Forum aids applicants for more PPP loans

The U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the U.S. Treasury Department, is reopening the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan portal to PPP-eligible lenders this week with $1 billion or less in assets for First and Second Draw applications.

To aid small businesses in the area, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a forum at 6 p.m. Wednesday with a business panel to inform business owners on important information needed to apply for the forgivable federal loans.

On the call we will have Marcus Johnson from Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union (TVFCU), DeJuan Jordan from Launch Chattanooga and Justin Groenert from the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce. Interested persons may register for the seminar here.
