Small Businesses Can Get Federal Assistance
The U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) current relief efforts can be found at sba.gov/coronavirusrelief. Here are three key programs:

Paycheck Protection Program: The SBA is no longer accepting applications for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) after providing $798 billion in economic relief to small businesses and nonprofits. Loan recipients still can apply for loan forgiveness, but deadlines for some recipients are coming up. For more information, click here.
Loan recipients have up to 10 months from the end of their covered period to apply for loan forgiveness before they become responsible for payments and interest. For some of program’s earliest applicants in April 2020, there was an eight-week covered period, meaning the deadline to apply for loan forgiveness would fall sometime in July. Later applicants operated under a 24-week covered period, meaning deadlines could come as early as September. To apply for forgiveness, businesses should contact their lender and complete either the SBA Form 3508, SBA Form 3508EZ, or SBA Form 3508S.

Shuttered Venue Operators Grant: The SBA is accepting applications for this $16 billion program. To apply and for more information, click here. To date, 71 Ohio applicants have been approved for more than $30 million in funding, according to the SBA.

COVID-19 disaster loans: The SBA has increased the maximum amount small businesses and nonprofit organizations can borrow through its COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program. The SBA has raised the loan limit for the COVID-19 EIDL program from six months of economic injury with a maximum loan amount of $150,000 to up to 24 months of economic injury with a maximum loan amount of $500,000. Also, the SBA extended deferment periods for all disaster loans, including the EIDL program, until 2022.
National Small Business Week Will Be Sept. 13-15
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced its 2021 National Small Business Week Virtual Summit for Sept. 13-15. This year’s events will spotlight the resilience of America’s entrepreneurs and the renewal of the small business economy as they build back better from the economic crisis brought on by a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. The virtual summit will honor the nation’s 30 million small businesses for their perseverance, ingenuity, triumphs, and creativity.

This year’s National Small Business Week activities will take place in a virtual atrium and will include educational panels providing retooling and innovative practices for entrepreneurs as small businesses look to pivot and recover toward a stronger economy.

The SBA, along with our summit partner SCORE — the nation's largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors — will share important information about the many programs and services available to help businesses start and grow, build resilience and support, retain employees, discover new markets, and join key networks.
