Lendio Announces Paycheck Protection Program Loan Application For Small Businesses During COVID-19 Pandemic

Online lending platform Lendio recently announced it has launched an application for small businesses to access the $349 billion in government funds set aside for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Lendio reported that the Paycheck Protection Program is part of the $2 trillion CARES Act signed on March 27, 2020, aimed at getting small business owners back on their feet and millions of Americans back to work following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Small business owners are able to apply directly through the lender’s portal and will be connected with one of the approved capital providers in Lendio’s extensive network of banks, credit unions, and fintech lenders. In response to the application, Brock Blake, CEO and co-founder of Lendio, stated:
