Rhode Island
to submit a completed SBA disaster loan application to get the help they need. Rhode Island’s Small Business Development Centers (SBDC’s) are ready to help businesses prepare their disaster loan applications.
The SBA’s low-interest disaster loan program is the primary source of federal funds for long-term recovery for uninsured damages caused by a declared disaster. “We are coordinating efforts with our SBA resource partners along with federal, state and local stakeholders in the declared disaster area to ensure those affected can get back to where they were before the disaster struck,” said Davis. “Taking time to complete and submit the SBA’s disaster business loan application package is an important part of the process.”
“The SBDC network in Rhode Island is reaching out to local businesses to make sure they have access to the resources they need to help them recover from the disaster,” said Ed Huttenhower, state director of the Rhode Island SBDC.
