SBA Economic Injury Loans
Small businesses, especially in the service sector, are hard hit by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Many are struggling to pay their rent, employees, and other expenses. Below is the information needed for businesses to apply for economic injury loans from the SBA. The flyers are in English and Spanish.
Emergency loans of up to $20,000 to small businesses negatively impacted by Covid-19
The BVCC has for many years had a relationship with North Central Community Development Corporation (NCCDC) for gap and micro lending.
Sandie Cataldo is the Director, scataldo@northcentralmass.com. They are offering emergency loans of up to $20,000 to small businesses negatively impacted by Covid-19.
The loans, offered through its financing arm the North Central Massachusetts Development Corp. are in lieu of high-interest credit cards or expensive and unregulated online lenders.
The NCCDC still offers its regular loans of up to $150,000, although those take longer to approve.
To qualify for the emergency loan, businesses must provide two years of tax returns and demonstrate a direct financial impact of coronavirus on the business.
To inquire about a loan, please contact Sandie at the North Central Chamber.
