Yes. PPP loans (the full principal amount and any accrued interest) may be fully forgiven, meaning they do not have to be repaid. If you do not apply for forgiveness, you will have to repay the loan.

- Keep your employee headcount up*
- Don't reduce an employee's wages by more than 25%*
- Document everything.
- Talk with your lender.
- Apply for loan forgiveness.
When must PPP loans be repaid?
The entire loan is due in two years (if you were approved before June 5, 2020) or five years (if you were approved after June 5, 2020). In both cases, you can repay early without any prepayment penalties or fees.
