What disaster loan programs are available for my small business?

• Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loans – Working capital loans intended to “bridge the gap” between the time of a major catastrophe and when a business has secured long-term recovery resources, e.g. receipt of payments on insurance claims or federal disaster assistance. 
• U.S. SBA Business Physical Disaster Loans – Loans to businesses to repair or replace disaster-damaged property owned by the business, including real estate, inventories, supplies, machinery and equipment. Businesses of any size are eligible. Private, non-profit organizations such as charities, churches, private universities, etc., are also eligible.
• U.S. Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) – Working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.

The Fifth Third Financial Empowerment Mobile is in Florida to provide support to Florida families, customers, communities, and employees impacted by Hurricane Ian. Onboard the Fifth Third Bank Financial Empowerment Mobiles (eBus) we will help individuals and families with applications for support from federal and state sources, technology access and provide critical supplies (e.g. wi-fi, power, water, etc.) in coordination with nonprofit and government agencies. See below for the upcoming schedule.
