Mazars USA develops and launches Paycheck Protection Program "PPP" analysis tool for small businesses

New York, NY According to Mazars USA LLP, a leading accounting, tax, and consulting firm, it has launched a tool to help small businesses calculate the amount they are eligible to receive from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This tool is available for small businesses, CFOs, and accounting firms to help them navigate the complex and dynamic program, increasing the speed of the application process.

As part of the CARES Act, the PPP can provide a loan of up to $10 Million to address the damage caused by COVID-19, covering 8 weeks of payroll, rent mortgage interest and utilities. The loan is a lifeline for small businesses with fewer than 500 employees during a very challenging economic environment.

The PPP Analysis Tool, one of the first on the market, helps businesses optimize the greatest loan amount while maximizing loan forgiveness under the provisions of the CARES Act.

The PPP has many nuances and pitfalls that companies need to be aware of. By utilizing this tool, companies can analyze the impact of timing of headcount reductions, furloughing employees, and pay reductions on the loan amount and loan forgiveness.

The PPP has a fixed amount of funding and Mazars USA recommends that companies apply early.

The tool, which is available for a one-time purchase, can be downloaded here: https://mazarsusa.com/ppp

Multi-generational multifamily owners - who’s in and who’s out - by Shallini Mehra and Amit Doshi

Many long-time property owners are divesting from their rent stabilized properties at an increasingly rapid pace. This trend has gained momentum primarily due to the unyielding permanence of rent laws over the past six years and the increasing operating costs that continue to outstrip rent growth. In addition, the judiciary’s elongated timeline in processing evictions and tenant rent challenges,

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
