SBA Loans and Grants Programs
As COVID-19 continues to progress in the United States, we know that this situation can be especially hard on small businesses. On behalf of everyone at Robert P Russo CPA PC, we’re here for you during this tough time.
With the passage of the CARES ACT, signed into law on March 27, 2020, the SBA has launched a new program to allow faster access to funds with less documentation. The application process is entirely online and it’s now quicker and easier to get the assistance your business needs. Go to https://covid19relief.sba.gov to apply now.
It allows you to apply for a $10,000 tax-free grant and loan. It is fairly simple to fill out with little documentation. Also, small business owners can access up to $2 million through an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) with an interest rate no higher than 4%. There are no upfront fees or early payment penalties. Repayment terms are determined by a small business’ ability to repay the loan, with terms up to 30 years.
By Friday 4/3 the SBA will be rolling out another Relief program call the Payroll Protection Program. This will offer forgivable loans up to $2 million dollars. We will have more information on this as it becomes available.
As always, please feel free to contact us if you need assistance or sign up for our free email newsletter.
