Can't select business type on PPP application?

[Fotm2014]

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!

Hi there, @jsfitness - this sounds strange, indeed.

Would you mind posting a screenshot or photo of the error message you are getting?

So I got the page to load- 

now I’m back to the same screen where it won’t let me select a business type

i have entered the category already- I have had this issue for a few days now. 

obviously  I can’t move on to the next portion of this application until I can enter this info 

help

Got it. Thanks for shooting back a quick reply and giving us an update on your status, @jsfitness. Did the Best Answer from this thread help you get this solved at all?

If not, we would recommend reaching out to our Support Team directly.

Every time I try and fill out a PPP application it hangs up on the questions, Business Type. Nothing comes up and I can't enter anything into that field. It won't let me continue with the application until its fixed. Any ideas?

Sorry you're having trouble @sammarksbridge. 

Take a look at @Isabelle_'s Best Answer on this thread for some tips and workaround.

It won't work on my iphone, or ipad, or laptop or desktop. This is crazy! I have sent several emails to customer support with no answer. Please fix this issue!

Hey @McGray, @TGS2008 and @klarabrown-

Really sorry to hear that this issue is continuing to impact your ability to complete your PPP application. I realize this is both distressing and inconvenient. Just to have a bit more context, I'd like to make sure that you are actually experiencing the same issue as the other folks in this thread. Would you mind replying with a screenshot of what error message you're seeing on your end? 

Additionally, have you tried restarting the application via the original invitation email? 

[TGS2008]

I have attempted to log in numerous times from the invite email but I get the same response.

The main problem is this drop down button for business entity type is NOT clickable, see in this photo is shows grey instead of being an active button.

Hey @McGray, @TGS2008 and @klarabrown-

Thanks for providing that additional information. I passed it along to the appropriate team.

They realize that this issue is in fact not resolved, and are still looking for a solution. I will follow up in this thread when I hear an update on this issue.

Hey Hey @McGray, @TGS2008 and @klarabrown-

I've been told a fix has been implemented. Would you try submitting/accessing your application again? 👀

Let me know please! Thanks.

 Hi Isabelle 🙂 yes, it is working!!!with only one small problem: the business entity will not allow me to enter an LLC, which is an issue because I have to enter the EIN number or the application may not go through properly. We are uploading a 1099K, we were told we could do that. Any suggestions? I started over from the beginning on my iphone and it went all the way through personal information and has allowed me to upload the documents, but I’m reticent to complete and hit send because we are not self-employed individuals

Has not been fixed. Our CPA suggested that we file as an S Corp. Maybe that's unsual for Hair Studio's.  

[McGray]

Isabelle, 

We wanted to let you know that we submitted the application(successfully!)as a self-employed individual. The uploaded document is a 1099K with our LLC name and EIN number. We were told the Engineering Team is working on this ‘entity’ problem, so if there’s an issue with the application, hopefully someone will get in touch with us to amend it. 

Thank you(all)for working so hard to get this right for us. All the best, please stay safe!
