what story? its the governments money who they are getting from you the taxpayer to grant to small business owners to keep businesses float so the economy doesnt hit a total depression the likes of which it will take a very long time to recover,, oh and get a small fee for doing so

The. Banks. Don’t. Want. To. Participate.

Why? Do you think banks are in the business or turning down the profits? No. And stop with this whole “it takes minimal amount of manpower” aspect. It is the bank who also has to deal with the forgiveness aspect on the backend. That will take considerable amount of manpower (which costs the bank money).

Try this: call 10 banks and ask them if you can send them referrals for PPP and you want nothing in return. 10 out of 10 will tell you they aren’t interested. Then ask yourself, if this is worth it for them, why are they turning away referrals.

Let me tell you, I’ve been brokering for 15 years. The majority of the stuff I broker is conventional and SBA loans. I have contacts with just about every conventional/SBA lender there is. We have contacted all of them in the past weeks preparing for this. I literally have just a handful that are accepting my referrals on this.


**Update**

Just after I posted above I literally just got word from one of the few that were accepting outside clients saying that Crestmark Bank has just opted out of the program due to “final program guidance”.
