Anyone know where to find the PPP application for freelancers/contractors? I’m going insane trying to find the right forms.
And did you require a business bank account to apply?

Least hoops if you go through the bank which holds your business checking account

Every bank has their own rules on documentation requirement. So no one here will be able to give you a straight answer. It’s a shit show.

I have heard smaller community banks in the middle of nowhere are faster than the big banks. Bank of America, Chase, Etc require you to have been a customer before feb 15 and are inundated. But I have a friend who called a random small credit union in Oklahoma breeze through without ever having a previous relationship.

And I’m sorry to say but if you’re just starting now, the money will probably be gone by the time you submit.

Be very very careful taking the money. Banks, not the fed, determine forgiveness. And they each have their own rules too. The law was very poorly written, and the SBA issues new interpretations almost daily. Forbes wrote a great piece on this a week or two ago. Written by a tax lawyer.

I JUST got my PPP. I applied the very first hour the applications opened at Bank of America. It will take time but do yourself a favor and create some sort of alert / tag on emails from Republic and do whatever it says to do the very minute you get the email.

This was sent to me:

First, I would recommend checking with current banking relationships to see if they have a PPP application. Then, since there is no penalty for multiple applications (only one would be accepted), I would suggest applying with a group of preferred lenders that we are working with. These include:
Republic Bank (https://www.my...ief-program-0 ; Note: must simultaneously apply for a business checking account when you apply for the PPP loan.)
Paypal (https://www.loanbuilder.com/ppp-loan-application)
Kabbage (https://www.ka...rogram-loans/)
Fundera (https://www.fundera.com/ppp)
Lendio (https://www.lendio.com/covid-relief/sba-paycheck-protection-program-loans/)
Intuit Quickbooks (quickbooks.intuit.com ; Note: ONLY if using Quickbooks already.)

FYI if you are getting unemployment you can’t get PPP.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?
