The two tables below lay out exactly what you need in order to apply. If you are permanently closed; you do not qualify.  If you have questions, you can contact the SBA at their hotline -- 1-844-279-8898**.** **![Correct 2020 2019 Capture-1](https://blog.wesellrestaurants.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Correct%202020%202019%20Capture-1.jpg?width=699&name=Correct%202020%202019%20Capture-1.jpg)** **![2020 2019](https://blog.wesellrestaurants.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2020%202019.jpg?width=654&name=2020%202019.jpg)** IMPORTANT REMINDERS: - If you miss the step of signing, dating and certifying your P&L, the application will be kicked back. - If you use a P&L rather than a tax return or POS report, you may experience a delay in review beyond 14 days   Best of luck to all of our friends in the industry.  We are hopeful all of you will get this important funding.  Topics: [Support for Restaurants -
