Can't select business type on PPP application?

On the ppp application, you are required to select a business type.  When I try to do the drop down, there aren't any options.  It also won't let me move forward without a type selected.  Please help!

Hey everyone!

 

This is a known issue that we're working hard to resolve. Please ensure you're selecting a business category first, prior to selecting the business type.

 

Thank you so much @Verbum for providing the workaround of submitting the application on your iPhone or Android mobile device.

 

I passed it along to our Engineering Team, and our Customer Success team.

I started the PPP loan app but have had a lot of confusion as to my business type.  Consequently, I'm getting an "unknown error" message and want to start over completely.  The app doesn't allow me to make the necessary changes.  Does anyone know how to start over from the beginning of the app?

I am having the same exact issue....on messaging with customer service who told me that they can't cancel my application out and that I would need to call tomorrow since they can't do anything. This is ridiculous....I have asked Mary R to just delete my application and let me start over. Keeps saying unknown error with a sad crying face

Is anybody else having a problem with the square PPP application locking up?  I have been unable to get mine submitted for the past few hours. Now the application is getting stuck on the section Business type under Business info.  It says "select" on business type but won't let me choose anything.  😩

I'm trying to fill out the PPP Loan app and I'm stuck because the button for "business type" is broken. Anyone else find a way around this?
