SACRAMENTO, Calif. –
Director J. Adalberto Quijada of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Santa Ana District Office today reminded California businesses and residents of the Nov. 7, 2016, deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for property damage caused by the Blue Cut Fire in San Bernardino County that occurred Aug. 16-22, 2016.
According to Quijada, businesses of all sizes, most private nonprofit organizations, homeowners and renters may apply for SBA federal disaster loans to repair or replace disaster-damaged property. SBA can also lend additional funds to help with the cost of improvements to protect, prevent or minimize the same type of disaster damage from occurring in the future.
These low-interest federal disaster loans are available in Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties in California; La Paz and Mohave counties in Arizona; and Clark County in Nevada.
Businesses of all sizes and private nonprofit organizations may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets.
In addition, SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. EIDL assistance is available regardless of whether the business suffered any property damage. The deadline to apply for an SBA economic injury disaster loan is June 6, 2017.
Disaster loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property.
Interest rates can be as low as 4 percent for businesses, 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations and 1.563 percent for homeowners and renters with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.
