    Wells Fargo helps fund the Shasta-Cascade SBDC in its efforts to assist those impacted by the Carr Fire
The team and clients of the Shasta-Cascade SBDC are very grateful for the Wells Fargo contribution to our recovery efforts in Shasta and Trinity counties," said Ann Johnson-Stromberg, associate region director for the Norcal SBDC Network and the interim director of the Shasta SBDC. "We've just scratched the surface of the devastation so many  businesses have experienced -- in particular those recreation-industry businesses who lost significant summer sales. It's easy to pinpoint burned down structures, and a much harder task to determine who is struggling and considering layoffs or closures because of cashflow shortfalls."
Was your business impacted financially 
by the Carr fire? 

It may not have been physically damaged but if you have lost income due to the Carr fire then the SBA   (Small Business Association)  has low interest rate loans available to help you bounce back from your economic distress.
  • The  Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) available for the Carr Fire can cover up to $2 million for anyone's business that was impacted economically by the fire. This applies to businesses of all sizes.
We at the Small Business Development Center are here to help you navigate this difficult time for your business. Whether you need advice on what to do next, how to get a loan, or other business advice, give us a call at (530) 222-8323 or fill out an application for counseling at www.sbdcsc.org

SBA disaster loans: The deadline to apply for economic injury is May 6th, 2019
