SACRAMENTO, Calif. –
District Director Mark Quinn of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s San Francisco District Office today reminded California small businesses of the May 10, 2017, deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for economic injury caused by the Mission and 29th Street Fire in San Francisco County that occurred June 18, 2016.
According to Quinn, 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,” Quinn said.
These low-interest federal disaster loans are available in Alameda, Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties.
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.
