SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan During COVID 19
April 2, 2020
The Small Business Administration’s (SBA’s) Economic Injury
Disaster Loan (EIDL) program is separate from those included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), and it might present an opportunity to build a working capital cushion. In short, the SBA is making available EIDLs in amounts up to $2 million to small businesses and non-profits to ease the economic impact of the Coronavirus. We are bringing together a panel of experts to answer your questions on how to apply and: “Get in the line.”
They say there are only two things certain in life: death and taxes. What’s ironic is, given the current situation involving COVID-19, we’re facing the realities of both. Since the beginning of the year and in the months to come, we are confronted with massive changes in not only our everyday lives but also for our businesses.
