In order to assist as many businesses as possible, upon approval, funding will be allocated as follows:

• Micro business of 5 or fewer full-time equivalent employees will receive a flat rate of $5,000.
• Business with 6 to 25 full-time equivalent employees will receive $1,280 per FTE (full-time equivalent employee*).
• The maximum loan amount is $20,000.00.

*Meaning of "Full-time Employee”
The abbreviation FTE is short for “full-time equivalent.” The City of Roseville determines the total number of employees of a business on a FTE basis. A full-time employee is one who works 40 hours per week. For example, one employee who works 40 hours per week equals one FTE. To determine the FTE number for part-time employees, add the total number of hours worked in a week by all part-time employee, and then divide that number by 40. For example, if a business has four part-time employees who work a total of 10 hours per week, those employees equal one FTE.
