CEA Scholtes & Associates’ clients have secured more than $3.1 million in SBA PPP Funds!
SBA Paycheck Protection Program:
Due to the COVID-19 health and economic crisis, the SBA initiated a program to assist small business and provide them with a potentially fully forgiven loan to be used for payroll and a few other essential business expenses.
Scholtes & Assoc. played an important role in many of our client’s successful approval of PPP loans. We provided calculations and backup documents. We strived to be on top of the ever-changing guidelines and provided the most current information to our clients.
We are optimistic that the majority of funds will be fully forgiven!

Many of our clients had very nice things to say, here are a few……
"JA of Central Maryland submitted their Paycheck Protection Program application 10 minutes ago. There is no way that this would have been possible without Stacy Davis’s hard work not only on the JA information, but equally as important, in her diligent research on the requirements of the program. Stacy was able to pull together the JA information in an excellent format on Wednesday which ultimately was very close what is in the rules that came out late last night. Not exactly sure how she did that, but we certainly appreciate her hard work. Thanks to Stacy, we are way ahead of the curve on the application for this program. This is huge for JA’s mission and its employees. Thanks very much for your help!!!"
"Kim, I just want to thank you for all of your support and professionalism as we apply for our loan. You have been available, delivered timely critical information and have guided us through this process with five star customer service. We are very fortunate to work with you. Once the loan is approved (fingers crossed!) I will miss our first thing every morning calls! Thank you for being excellent."
"Time and again Jenna has been so well prepared, had all the information well organized often that others should have had and followed up quickly and correctly. She has been always available. We were very fortunate she was on our team. " "Great work by Clare and Jenna Opitz who works with Scholtes" "Fortunately the application was simple and Scholtes did the calculations quickly"
"Thank you Christine! We could not have gotten this funding without you!"
"We have secured the PPP loan in the second round. Marta and Becky, thank you so much for your diligence in preparing the application. "
