What's the deal with EIDL Forgiveness?

Studio owners, entrepreneurs, and women business leaders: let’s settle the debate over EIDL forgiveness. Can you wave a magic wand and make those loans disappear? Nope. But don’t roll your eyes just yet, there’s good news ahead.

EIDL vs. PPP: Not All Loans Are Created Equal

Unlike PPP loans, EIDL loans were designed as low-interest disaster relief to be repaid over time, not forgiven. Think of them as a long-term commitment (more like a dependable partner than a whirlwind fling. But if the repayment feels overwhelming, don’t panic) there’s a safety net.

A Lifeline: The Hardship Accommodation Plan

For those feeling the pinch, the SBA offers a Hardship Accommodation Plan. Imagine making reduced payments for six months, just 10% of your usual bill, with a minimum of $25. Sure, interest keeps ticking, but this option gives you breathing room to focus on what really matters: running your studio, growing your community, and creating a healthy, profitable business.

Applying is easier than you think, with simple steps to enroll and customize your repayment plan. Whether your loan is small or more substantial, help is available to guide you through the process.

Creativity and CPAs don’t generally go together. Most people think of CPAs as nerdy accountants who can’t talk with people. Well, it’s time to break that stereotype. Lively, friendly, and knowledgeable can be a part of your relationship with your CPA, as demonstrated by Donna and Chad Bordeaux. They have over 50 years of combined experience as entrepreneurial CPAs. They’ve owned businesses and helped business owners exceed their wildest dreams.
