THLA has partnered with TransPecos Banks, a Texas state savings bank headquartered in San Antonio, to be the endorsed source for hotel owners to obtain First and Second draw Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) opened its application portal and TransPecos is now accepting applications online from hotels for processing first and second PPP loans.
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Act) was signed into law to provide financial relief to small businesses suffering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Act amends the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that was established earlier this year under the CARES Act. As before, the PPP loans will be low-interest, forgivable loans for specified purposes, designed to encourage businesses to keep employees on the payroll during the pandemic.
Borrowers have until March 31, 2021, to apply for a PPP loan.
