Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the grant and the loan?
The grant is support or a subsidy. The loan is the financed portion that must be repaid with interest.
When is the loan deposited?
Usually after the grant is received, in a second deposit.
What is the difference between EIDL and PPP?
EIDL is a loan program with an initial grant. PPP was a separate government aid program focused on payroll support and business continuity.
Can both be requested at the same time?
Yes, although it is always wise to evaluate the accounting and tax impact of receiving both forms of aid.
Clear accounting avoids problems later
When a business receives aid, grants, or loans, the challenge does not end with approval. Those amounts also need to be recorded properly, clearly separating extraordinary income, non-repayable support, and financial obligations.
A well-structured accounting treatment helps avoid errors, improves visibility into your financial position, and supports better decision-making.
