SBA Disaster Assistance Loans for Small Businesses Impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Hello friend, here at ThinkSBA we believe small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. Unfortunately, many small businesses have been adversely affected by recent events.

That’s why I want to make you aware of an announcement made by the SBA that small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), may qualify for low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital.

Click the links below to be taken directly to SBA resources for more information how you or your clients may qualify to receive these funds.

Trusted advisors, please advise your clients to contact the SBA directly via the designated email address or toll-free phone number located at the bottom of the page.

All My Best,
