SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL)
Due to the impact of COVID-19, businesses and non-profits are eligible to apply for financial assistance via the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, which provides low interest loans of up to $2M. These funds provide the necessary working capital to help small businesses survive until normal operations resume after a disaster.
Paycheck Protection Program
The Paycheck Protection Program is part of the CARES stimulus package and is a federal loan program aimed at helping small businesses who have been severely impacted by COVID-19. Businesses who received a Paycheck Protection Program loan may soon be entering the forgiveness stage, which requires applying for forgiveness and providing documentation of expenses.
