Economic Injury Disaster Loans

Small business owners impacted by COVID-19 are able to apply for low-interest loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Through the newly passed CARES Act, there is $10 billion set aside to help small businesses overcome the temporary loss of revenue.

This guarantees that businesses in the US will receive $10,000 within three days of applying. The best part is there are very few strings attached. Read more about this program here from the US Chamber of Commerce.

Go apply for your loan now. The application process is quick and easy, only taking about 5 minutes to complete.
