@clintjohnhampton Good for you. We have been hearing a lot of some version of "you approved, the money is coming" or "sent up for approval". We are wondering how long it will take for the money to arrive. Keep us posted!

@pastorchrisonline Here is the application for the $10k grant. https://covid19relief.sba.gov/

@practicingchristianity We completely agree. There are 30m small businesses in the US, $349 bn means a little less than $12,000 to each of them. Even if half don't apply it still isn't enough!

@revdr So theoretically yes. However, interestingly, the business that have reported success have actually come back to the survey and updated their status (8 out of 12 successes happened this way). So we have a facility to avid it and we are using our newsletter to remind people to come back...

@proverbs3 If you received your money, please go back to the survey and click "yes" on the first question. This will then take you to follow up questions allowing you to submit details.

@edo2 Sad to say, but this is a typical story!

@indopanda One thing we know is that one of the primary reasons small banks have been faster is that may of them were already registered with the SBA and used to processing SBA loans, so they already had the infrastructure to do it.

@dbtngbeliever If you used an email when you did the first application, just go back and resubmit another survey using the same email address. Thanks

@dbtngbeliever Sorry what do you mean exactly?

@timh42 This seems like a very legitimate concern, and the anecdotal stories we are getting don't lend any peace of mind that there s any standardized process. From what we are hearing, it seems like banks are generally waiting for SBA money before funding the loans.

@timh42 One of the angles we are investigating is whether banks are approving those with pre-existing borrowing relatonships first. We have just added a question to this effect.

Hi All, We are starting to get press!: https://www.inc.com/kevin-j-ryan/small-business-loans-owners-waiting-for-money.html (fyi Inc.com has been down a lot today, but this is great momentum!) Just a quick report here from COVID Loan Tracker. We are nearing 1,1000 business reporting and so far...
