In addition, here are some other options from SBA for borrowers at this time:
- Paycheck Protection Program Loans (PPP) can be applied for through participating SBA lenders. These typically are the financial institutions you have a relationship with. These funds can be used for payroll and other specific purposes for your business. Contact your financial institution for more details regarding these loans and how to apply for this program.
- In response to previous disasters, the United States Small Business Administration created the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program (EIDL Loan.) The program offers up to $2 million per business. Businesses can apply at the SBA website here.
