The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to Virginia small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). SBA acted under its own authority, as provided by the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act that was recently signed by the President, to declare a disaster following a request received from Gov. Ralph S. Northam on March 18, 2020.
The disaster declaration makes SBA assistance available in the entire state of Virginia. The deadline to apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan is Dec. 21, 2020.
