Though the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) ended August 8, 2020—with a lack of clarity as to when it might be revived—businesses are still in need of capital.
Though more than 5 million PPP loans have been approved, accounting for $525 billion, according to data from the Small Business Administration (SBA), it’s still not enough.
House Democrats propose allowing second loans to small businesses but with some restrictions: They must have fewer than 200 employees and have experienced a 25% reduction in quarterly revenue year-over-year due to the pandemic.
Nonetheless, in advance of waiting for a stimulus package to be passed—and even if it does— businesses should consider any additional alternatives.
Six additional funding options
1. Equipment financing and leasing
This is not a traditional loan, but if your business needs equipment—perhaps even updated equipment in order to accommodate new Covid-related sanitation or social distancing rules—consider working with the manufacturer or distributor to lease the equipment rather than use the proceeds of another loan to buy it.

Royse City is home to a growing number of young professionals and families. The average age within the city is 32 years old, and the educational attainment is higher than the national average. This has led to a population that is active, educated, and earns around $90,000 per year - far more than the national average. With 15,000 new homes in some stage of development, the city’s growth is expected to continue for some time. As it does, investments are being made in parks and recreation and the local school district.
