LOAN NECESSITY QUESTIONNAIRE (FOR-PROFIT BORROWERS)
The purpose of this form is to facilitate the collection of supplemental information that will be used by
SBA loan reviewers to evaluate the good-faith certification that you made on your PPP Borrower
Application (SBA Form 2483 or Lender’s equivalent form) that economic uncertainty made the loan
request necessary. Each for-profit Borrower that, together with its affiliates,
1
received PPP loans with an
original principal amount of $2 million or greater is required to complete this form and submit it, along
with the required supporting documents, to the Lender servicing Borrower’s PPP loan. The completed
form is due to the Lender servicing your PPP loan within ten business days of receipt from your
Lender.
SBA is reviewing these loans to maximize program integrity and protect taxpayer resources. The
information collected will be used to inform SBA’s review of your good-faith certification that economic
uncertainty made your loan request necessary to support your ongoing operations. Receipt of this form
does not mean that SBA is challenging that certification. After this form is submitted, SBA may request
additional information, if necessary, to complete the review. SBA’s determination will be based on the
totality of your circumstances.
Failure to complete the form and provide the required supporting documents may result in SBA’s
determination that you were ineligible for either the PPP loan, the PPP loan amount, or any forgiveness
amount claimed, and SBA may seek repayment of the loan or pursue other available remedies.
Within five business days after you provide a complete form with all required responses, supporting
documents, and signatures and certifications, the Lender servicing your loan is required to upload the
form and documents t
o the SBA PPP Forgiveness Platform (forgive
ness.sba.gov)
and separately input
your respons
es to each question into the web form available in the platform.
Additional instructions are set forth on the next page.
