MoCo businesses received $2.17 billion from Paycheck Protection Program

 

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request and lawsuit from several news organizations, the federal government on Tuesday released detailed records about loans distributed through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). We wrote about the previous, less complete data release on July 9.

 

We have uploaded to our website, below, a searchable table of the approximately 18,500 MoCo businesses which received loans. View the loan amount, business information, the number of jobs the business plans to retain, and more at the link in our bio.

 

The median loan received by MoCo businesses was $25,000. At the upper end, Silver Diner Development, LLC received $9,497,700; at the lower end, High Performance Soccer School received $12.

 

Of the businesses that reported gender data about their ownership, 591 were female-owned and 1,852 male-owned. At least 62 veteran-owned MoCo businesses received PPP loans. About four percent of MoCo recipients were non-profits.
