What's needed to apply
There are three types of documents that can be used to show the required 25% or greater decline in gross receipts for the Second Draw loan, and the special instructions for ensuring the eligibility of each type of document. Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. recommends that applicants consults their attorneys and accountants for advice on compliance with the program.
Financial Statements
- Either audited, or if not audited, the applicant must sign and date the first page of the financial statement, initial all other pages, attesting to their accuracy, and use a consistent accounting method (in accordance with the entity’s accounting method, i.e., accrual or cash).
- If the financial statements do not specifically identify the line item(s) that constitute gross receipts, the applicant must annotate which line item(s) constitute gross receipts on the financial statements.
Bank Statements
- These must show deposits from the relevant quarters used for measuring the decline in gross receipts and the applicant must annotate, if it is not clear, which deposits listed on the bank statement constitute gross receipts (e.g., payments for purchases of goods and services) and which do not (e.g., capital infusions, insurance payments, refunds, First Draw PPP loans).
Tax Returns
- IRS annual income tax returns are used if the applicant has chosen the annual rather than quarterly reference period for the decline in gross receipts. If the employer has not yet filed a tax return for 2020, the applicant must fill out the return forms, compute the relevant gross receipts, and sign and date the return, attesting that the values that enter into the gross receipts computation are the same values that will be filed on the employer's tax return.
