Small Business Resources - COVID-19 

 

COVID-19, coronavirus, CDCThe SBA has been authorized by the Federal government to provide low-interest loans directly to businesses to help offset the dip in cash flow (revenues) or other economic impacts (supply chain costs, etc.) caused by the COVID-19 disruption. For this reason, the disaster loans to businesses are called Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) and these federal loans are designed to help negatively impacted organizations cover their monthly expenses, including commercial loan payments,  in order to stay in business during this crisis. The Small Business Association (SBA) is offering several types of low-interest loans, including the Economic Injury Disaster Loan.

The Economic Injury Disaster Loans provide working capital to small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
