If you've already applied for and received your Paycheck Protection Program loan , congratulations! But did you know there's a whole other form that borrowers must submit to their lenders if they want to be considered for loan forgiveness? Businesses that meet certain requirements do not have to repay the funds they received from the PPP. If you are eligible for this exemption and want to make sure your application is processed as soon as possible (and without errors or omissions), electronic signatures are the way to go. Read on to learn how to fill out the PPP loan forgiveness application online and send it swiftly to the SBA.

Signeasy and the PPP When the PPP was announced, we knew we had to act fast: funds were limited. Within 48 hours of the program rollout, we integrated a handy direct link to the PPP form into the Signeasy dashboard. Since its launch the feature has been used by more than 530 businesses from all over the world to fill out their loan applications!
When time is of the essence – and in the case of PPP paperwork, it most certainly is – there's no faster way to turn documents around than with eSignatures. Here’s what our customers had to say about their experience using Signeasy to fill out their loan application.

How to fill out the PPP loan forgiveness application online with Signeasy If you've applied for the PPP, your business has likely experienced a major shift in the last couple of months. Businesses are starting to re-open with restrictions such as the number of people allowed everyday. There may also be restrictions on the usage of shared office equipment like printers and scanners in faxes. With restrictions or without, employees will be skeptical of using communal equipment for the fear of cross-contamination . To run business as usual, businesses need to establish remote workflows to replace the old ones.
