No. Applicants may not use SBA’s established size standards (either revenue-based or employee-based) or the alternative size standard to qualify for a Second Draw PPP Loan. In general, the size eligibility requirement for Second Draw PPP Loans are narrower than the size eligibility requirement for First Draw PPP Loans. With some exceptions, an applicant is eligible for a Second Draw PPP Loan only if it, together with its affiliates (if applicable), employs no more than 300 employees. The only exceptions are if an Applicant:
Is assigned a NAICS code beginning with 72 and employs no more than 300 employees per physical location; or
Is a news organization that is majority owned or controlled by a business concern that is assigned NAICS code 511110 or a NAICS code beginning with 5151, or is a nonprofit public broadcasting entity with a trade or business under NAICS code 511110 or 5151, and, in either case, employs no more than 300 employees per physical location.
