Therapeutic Associates Inc., a physical, occupational and speech therapy business, received an $8.1 million loan under the federal Paycheck Protection Program, the most of any Kent company.
Novinium Inc., an underground power expert that partners with utility companies, obtained $5.3 million and Holmes Electric, an electrical contractor, received a $5.2 million loan, according to data released last week by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), complying with a federal court order as part of a lawsuit by the Washington Post and other media organizations to get specific information about the loans, part of the federal CARES Act to combat the economic impact of COVID-19.
The SBA released data in July that did not include specific amounts to each business. The loans do not require repayment if borrowers spend most of the funds to cover payroll. The SBA, in most cases, considers a small business as having 500 or fewer employees.
Therapeutic Associates, a physical therapy business whose administrative officers are in Kent, did not report the number of jobs retained. Holmes Electric also didn’t list the number of its employees. Novinium reported the loan would help it retain 267 employees.
Following is a list, by amount received, of Kent businesses that received at least $1 million, with the type of business and the number of employees. Several businesses did not list their number of employees. Many other Kent businesses received amount less than $1 million.
