During these unprecedented times impacting our nation’s businesses, we can assure you that 1st Capital Bank is monitoring the financial and economic development assistance programs for businesses on an hourly basis. The following information is to provide the business owner/operator what is currently available regarding economic assistance programs for your business as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the CARES ACT.
According to the Small Business Administration, all funds available under the Paycheck Protection Program have been allocated to loan applications that it has accepted. Therefore, 1st Capital Bank is not accepting additional PPP applications at this time. We recognize that this may be cause for concern for potential borrowers with applications that have not yet been funded. Please be assured that loans already approved by the SBA will be funded. We are monitoring events closely, particularly proposed legislation to increase funds available under the PPP. Please contact your Relationship Manager for additional details.

The Paycheck Protection Program provides small businesses with funds to pay up to eight weeks of payroll costs including benefits. Small businesses with 500 or fewer employees – including non-profits, veterans' organizations, tribal concerns, self-employed individuals, sole proprietorships, and independent contractors – are eligible.
Funds are provided in the form of loans that will be eligible for full forgiveness when used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent and utilities over the eight week period after the loan is made if compensation levels are maintained. Loan amounts can be for up to two months of your average monthly payroll costs from the last year plus an additional 25% of that amount. The amount is subject to a $10 million cap. Loan payments will also be deferred for six months. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees. Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease.
Interest rate is 1.0% fixed, and maturity is two years.
