Effective September 8, 2021, SBA enhanced its COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program to assist small businesses to meet their financial obligations and operating expenses despite the suffering created by the Delta variant. With over $150 billion in funding available, SBA is determined that small businesses receive the help they need to survive, especially businesses from low-income communities. Unlike PPP loans, COVID EIDL loans are long term loans (i.e. 30 years) made directly by the SBA which have a low fixed interest rate of 3.75% for businesses and 2.75% for non-profit organizations and contain two years of deferred payments.
SBA is enhancing its efforts by making several important changes to the COVID EIDL program to aid small businesses, including the following:
SBA is accepting applications for the COVID EIDL program through December 31, 2021. For questions regarding the SBA COVID EIDL program and other forms of federal relief for small businesses, contact the attorneys at Starfield & Smith at 215-542-7070.
