SACRAMENTO, Calif. –
District Director Tim Jeffcoat of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Houston District Office, today reminded Texas small businesses of the Dec. 19 deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for economic injury caused by severe storms, tornadoes and flooding in Erath, Gregg, Harrison, Henderson, Hood, Jasper, Limestone, Marion, Newton, Orange, Parker, Shelby and Tyler counties that that occurred March 7-29, 2016.
According to Jeffcoat, small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. “Economic Injury Disaster Loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that cannot be paid because of the disaster’s impact. Economic injury assistance is available regardless of whether the applicant suffered any property damage,” Jeffcoat said.
These low-interest federal disaster loans are available in Anderson, Angelina, Bosque, Cass, Cherokee, Comanche, Eastland, Ellis, Erath, Falls, Freestone, Gregg, Hamilton, Hardin, Harrison, Henderson, Hill, Hood, Jack, Jasper, Jefferson, Johnson, Kaufman, Leon, Limestone, Marion, McLennan, Morris, Nacogdoches, Navarro, Newton, Orange, Palo Pinto, Panola, Parker, Polk, Robertson, Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Smith, Somervell, Tarrant, Tyler, Upshur, Van Zandt and Wise counties in Texas; and the neighboring Beauregard, Caddo, Calcasieu, Cameron, De Soto, Sabine and Vernon parishes in Louisiana.
The interest rate is 4 percent for businesses and 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.
