Getting approved for an EIDL loan is a great first step in successfully navigating COVID-19 as a business.

But once you receive the loan, you’ll need to spend the funds in the right way, and keep a number of records to comply with the SBA agreement you signed.

In this simple guide, we cover:

  • The rules on what you can spend your funds on
  • Which expenses are prohibited
  • Using the EIDL and PPP together
  • Which receipts to keep during the EIDL loan
  • The accounting and bookkeeping requirements for complying with the SBA going forward

‍

And much more.
