I applied for 8 thousand for my legal business and was denied. these people got MILLIONS through fraud. lock em up.

[@ClaraCFO]

definitely not fair! I wonder why you were denied!?

[@rennboy]

why does these loans get approved? when I get my PPP loan for $12000 I had to submit a bunch of bank statements, verification call after verification call. The bank who fund these loan need to be fined too for not guarding our tax money tight enough.

[@politicallil7060]

I mean I had a $2,340.00 PPP loan and the bank put me through the wringer. I had to submit tax returns, 1099MISC, bank statements for the year, and check stubs invoices that had to match to the letter my 1099MISC amount going into the account and I had to account for all business activity information from Jan through March of 2020 for my home-based business. Two weeks after I got the PPP loan I wired the money back because I got approved for PUA unemployment. How these people got loans big enough to do some of the fraud I'm hearing of is really amazing. I thought the bank was going to do a home visit and see if I really had a home office. I did a second round of PPP because you could use it for operational expenses. I wrote down on my application every single line item I plan to use that $2340 for down to the penny. I don't want any trouble. This government needs to have a national business registry and mandatory business education certification if you want to access any federal funds for business. Lots of people don't have a clue how to properly set up a business so that it is legitimate. I know business licensing is usually a state registry but the Feds and IRS should have access to those state databases to avoid the type of frauds that occur when federal taxpayer dollars are being distributed.

Fraudsters aside... is there some rule that the SBA cannot call up a bank and ask "What date was this business checking account opened and was there activity the six months prior to the rona?" Is there? Because that ONE SIMPLE QUESTION would have avoided the majority if this fraud. What in the world led these people to hand out money without confirmation that there was a business? I just don't get it! Real businesses out there struggling and closing their doors - laying people off. A business should NOT be told that there is help, only to WAIT and REPLAN over and over... no one can run a business like that. Many should have closed their doors right then but instead - are stressed out, stressing their employees and family - and planning, replanning, and replanning again because the SBA didn't keep their end of the deal and the politicians don't seem to care that a bill was passed and is causing more harm than good.

Someone should have done their due diligence and checked these people out before they were ever given any money. Someone should have taken the time to SAY NO, YOU DO NOT QUALIFY….But they were giving money out to anyone and everyone. It is partially the Governments fault for not checking these people out before giving them a check. Some of this could have been avoided. The government does the same thing with our tax dollars continually getting kickbacks….it is sickening. Double standards. Everyone that commits fraud should get punished not just the common people. The people working in government should be held to a higher standard but continue to get by with it. Disgraceful! People are so dishonest!

[@christinem979]

If you have a legitimate business with Sch C income or actual payroll you should not be worried. If your PPP included Sch C owner income you are allowed to keep that portion calculated on the Sch C profits. There is a limit that is a reverse of the determination amount. If you receive funds on payroll YOU MUST spend at least 60% of the PPP on payroll (if you are an employee of your company you can also pay your ‘officer pay’ within the limits for owner pay). If you do not, you could lose a portion of forgiveness. If you keep the funds as owner pay (within the limits) it is considered the same as paying you payroll so you will meet the 60% requirement with owner pay only (no other employees). After you meet the 60% requirement for owner pay only or payroll, you can spend the remainder on overhead and current purchase expenses. We limited our clients to the 60% payroll amounts so that additional payroll amounts could be used to receive additional assistance. I am a bookkeeper and I helped many of my clients get these loans for owner pay only and hundreds of employees working for our clients. We are now processing ERTC for our clients. With millions acquired in EIDL, PPP, & ERTC for our clients, we are not worried, our clients are legitimate and have been assisted by us in properly accounting for approved expenses. WWW.EZERTC.COM.

[@ebperformance8436]

As long as you’re keeping paperwork on what you’re buying for your business, it’s not fraud, the amount you get plays a big factor. If you received over $50.000 and you only needed $25.000 call your lender. If you lost your vehicle to breaking down or repo...contact your lender, and for crying out loud don’t buy a expensive car....only do that when you’re lender is almost paid off and your business is making good money. This is what the program is made for....personally I think the ppp program should’ve been made for small p businesses only. Make a separate program for bigger companies.

Pookie said don't worry and get yo money

[@seangay62]

This really does scare me. I got near 11k based off my doordash income from 2020. I had it deposited to my personal checking, which in your other video you stated that such a deposit would satisfy the owner compensation requirements. So then I just withdrew most of it as cash from atm, and spent the rest on stuff like money orders and the like for bills. I truly hope I wont get in trouble for that :[

You did it right! These people blatantly defrauded the program. You are using it how it was intended!

Bih get to the point

[@flyguydavis8980]

On one your past videos, about if it was deposited into your personal checking then you basically paid yourself and funds are yours. How that work vs these cases lol

[@ClaraCFO]

Because sole proprietors are allowed to pay themselves based on their schedule C income (per PPP guidance). These guys all falsely got funds AND spent it on ineligible expenses.

[@justintherrien5643]

What can you use the funds on once you pay yourself. Is it basically anything like if i want to take a vacation

[@ClaraCFO]

Yes. If you've legitimately gotten the money as a business and paid yourself with the correct amount of owner's pay, you can use the money once you pay yourself however you want! I think I need another video on this 😅 do I?
