MIAMI – With just one week left to submit physical damage disaster applications, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced updates to several Business Recovery Centers that were opened to help businesses, homeowners, and renters impacted by Hurricane Irma that began on Sept. 4, 2017.
The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is Nov. 24, 2017. The deadline to return economic injury applications is June 11, 2018.
As part of disaster recovery, the SBA offers low-interest, long-term disaster loans for physical damage and working capital. To be considered for this assistance, survivors need to apply by the deadline. SBA representatives at the facilities and mobile units can provide information about disaster loans, answer questions and assist businesses in completing the SBA application.
