Resources for Businesses affected by covid-19

Dear Snohomish Business Owner,

 

On March 27th, the President signed into law the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act" (the CARES Act), the largest economic relief act in our country's history. We're hoping our Snohomish businesses can find relief through new or strengthened existing federal programs as a result of this legislation.

Click here for an explanation of the Small Business Administration Coronavirus Economic Injury Disaster Loans. *Grants of up to $10,000 are available within three days, regardless of approval: A cash advance (grant) of the loan, up to $10,000, can be provided to the borrower upon request. SBA is required to provide the grant within three days of receiving the loan application. The grant is provided regardless of whether the borrower is ultimately approved for the loan and does not have to be repaid.
