COVID-19 Resources & Business Assistance

COVID-19 Resources & Business Assistance:

In order to respond to circumstances resulting from COVID-19, the United States Small Business Administration has enacted a program which may provide capital and liquidity to certain domestic businesses affected by COVID-19.

Information for businesses and employers impacted by COVID-19 can be found at the SBA Website and including the following:

Access to Capital:

Visit the SBA Loans page

The SBA works with lenders to provide loans to small businesses. The agency doesn’t lend money directly to small business owners. Instead, it sets guidelines for loans made by its partnering lenders, community development organizations, and micro-lending institutions. Lender Match is a free online referral tool that connects small business with participating SBA-approved lenders.

I Need Some Guidance:

Visit the SBA’s Local Assistance Directory

The SBA works with several local partners and can connect you to counsel, mentor, and train small businesses.

Centers For Disease Control And Prevention:
