Quick Reminders:
-
When a natural disaster strikes, our Small Business Natural Disaster Relief Loan Program can provide short-term financing of up to $10,000 for small businesses. It's designed to provide swift relief to businesses in our four-county area that need to replace inventory, secure buildings, purchase equipment, or general cash flow needs. Click
here for more details.
- No disaster damage but still need a loan? New applications are accepted through the first business day of each month (except December) in order to be considered by our Board of Directors the first week of the following month. However, if your business needs are under $25,000, you can submit an application at any time. The LDC staff can review and approve loan requests of $25,000 and under.

And in every economic downturn, many of those let-go employees make lemons out of lemonade by starting that small business they've always dreamed of operating, whether it involves doing what they were doing as an employee or trying something entirely different.
