Gateway Foot and Ankle, PC received a Paycheck Protection Program loan for between $150,000 and $350,000 on May 3, according to the US Treasury Department.
There were 6,260 PPP loans issued in Pennsylvania during the week ending May 3 and the average loan amount was between $150,000 and $350,000.
There are approximately five million approved PPP loans with a total of $517,451,965,102 set aside for funding, according to the Small Business Administration. The average loan size was around $105,000 with over 5,000 lenders currently participating in the program.
The program was slow to get off the ground when it was crushed by an onslaught of would-be applicants. Another major criticism of the program pertained to who was receiving the loans. A program that was meant for small businesses witnessed the Los Angeles Lakers receive $4.6 million from the program. The Lakers qualified for the program under the rules as written but returned the funds according to a Laker’s statement provided to news outlets.
