PPP versus ERC
Do lenders get paid for PPP loans?
For second-draw PPP loans, lenders will receive a 50% processing fee or $2,500, whichever is less, for loans of not more than $50,000; a 5% processing fee for loans of more than $50,000 and not more than $350,000; and a 3% processing fee for loans above $350,000. The PPP is structured for the lenders, not the business owners.
ERC (Employee Retention Credit) is structured for the business and is not to be paid back.
