SACRAMENTO, Calif.

– Acting Regional Administrator Victor Parker of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Regional office, announced today that SBA will close its Chatsworth Business Recovery Center at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 10.

“SBA opened the center to provide personalized assistance to small businesses that were financially impacted by the Aliso Canyon gas leak that began Oct. 23, 2015. Until the center closes, SBA representatives will be on hand to answer questions about SBA’s disaster loan program, explain the application process and help each business owner complete their application,” said Parker.

“Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred,” Parker continued.

Eligibility is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. “These loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact. Disaster loans can provide vital economic assistance to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing,” Parker added.

These loans have an interest rate of 4 percent for small businesses and 2.65 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years, and are restricted to small businesses without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship.
