PPP heads for a bumpy rollout, here are 5 things you can do:

1: Talk to your lender, if you haven’t already.
If you are experiencing or expect to experience cash flow problems, contacting your lender is the critical first step.

2: Plan for the next 3-6 months, if you haven’t already.
Many businesses we’ve heard from have sufficient funds or access to capital for the first 2-3 months.

3: Be ready to produce required information quickly to help your lender with your application.
Be ready to produce required documentation quickly to help your lender with your application.

4: Don’t panic and draw on lines of credit unnecessarily.
There is plenty of liquidity in the system (unlike the financial crisis in 2008) so don’t panic and draw on lines of credit unnecessarily.

5: Have patience.
The banking industry wants to help you, but not all programs are in place yet, and even when they are, technology can cause hiccups or delays (e.g. systems crashing). As sites go live our member bank links are here: http://go.azbankers.org/ppp
