COVID-19: Disaster Loan Assistance
Federal Disaster Loans for Small Businesses and Private Nonprofits
When applying for SBA disaster loans for Coronavirus (COVID-19), please only select "Economic Injury (EIDL)" on your online application.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) provides low-interest loans to small businesses and Private Nonprofits suffering substantial economic injury as a result of COVID-19. An Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL, pronounced "ai-dl" like the English word "idle") can help meet necessary financial obligations that an applicant would have met had this public health emergency not occurred.
