  • The loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 8 week period after the loan is made; and
  • Employee and compensation levels are maintained.

 

Payroll costs are capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee.  Loan payments will be deferred for 6 months.

Economic Injury Disaster Loan

Provided by the Small Business Administration, an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) provides up to $2 Million to help you meet necessary financial obligations that your business could have met had the coronavirus not occurred. It provides relief from economic injury caused directly by the pandemic and permits you to maintain a reasonable working capital position during the period affected by the disaster. EIDLs do not replace lost sales or revenue.
