CRITICAL UPDATE - Funds for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) have nearly been exhausted. Due to the overwhelming need for support, the SBA has processed 14 years worth of loans in 14 days. Currently, there are no additional appropriations, though it is possible that Congress will approve additional dollars for this program. Here is what we know:

We are still providing technical assistance to clients who may have questions regarding this or other assistance, but applications need to be made through your bank or credit union.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL)
The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans are available to small businesses and private, non-profit organizations in designated areas of a state or territory to help alleviate economic injury caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loans offer up to $2 million in assistance and can provide vital economic support to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing.
Questions?
As part of the CARES Act’s provision of assistance to businesses applying for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), small businesses and non-profits may also apply for a $10,000 Advance. This Advance may be available even if your application is denied or is still pending.
If you wish to apply for the Advance on your EIDL, please visit www.SBA.gov/Disaster as soon as possible to fill out a new, streamlined application. In order to qualify for the Advance, you need to submit this new application even if you previously submitted an EIDL application. Applying for the Advance will not impact the status or slow your existing application.
