In response to COVID-19, small business owners, including agricultural businesses, and nonprofit organizations in all U.S. states, Washington D.C., and territories can apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan. The EIDL program is designed to provide economic relief to businesses that are currently experiencing a temporary loss of revenue due to COVID-19.
The U.S. Small Business Administration announced that the deadline to apply for the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program for the COVID-19 Pandemic disaster declaration is extended to Dec. 31, 2021, pending the availability of funds.
Loans are offered at a variety of terms, with a 3.75% interest rate for small businesses and 2.75% interest rate for nonprofit organizations, a 30-year maturity, and an automatic deferment of one year before monthly payments begin. Funds can be used to pay for working capital and normal operating expenses.
Note that the EIDL Advance (Forgivable/grant portion from the EIDL) is no longer available.
You can find more information on the EIDL on the SBA website here.
While the Commerce Hub does not have resource guides for all the available federal funding opportunities, please review the Small Business Administration website for additional COVID-19 relief options.
