Financial Assistance from the US SBA for Small Businesses and Non-Profits (SBA file date: April 6 ver 1)
Summary
This U.S. Small Business Administration slide deck from the Houston district explains the help open to small businesses and non-profits under the CARES Act, signed into law Friday, March 27, 2020. It describes Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million at a 3.75% interest rate for small businesses and 2.75% for private non-profits, with repayment up to 30 years, plus an EIDL advance of up to $10,000 that need not be repaid even if the loan is denied. For the Paycheck Protection Program it lists a maturity of 2 years, an interest rate of 1%, payments deferred for six months, and forgiveness on condition that at least 75% of the forgiven amount was used for payroll. It says lenders began processing applications as of April 3, 2020, and warns that a request for payment up front to get an SBA loan approved is a sign of fraud.

Small Business Scam & Fraud Scheme Advisory
• The presence of an SBA logo on a webpage or correspondence does
not guaranty the information is from the SBA
• If someone contacts you promising to get approval of an SBA loan,
but requires any payment up front, suspect fraud
• After you apply:
• Verify all correspondence you receive; that the application number is the
same as your actual application number
• Any email communication from SBA will end with gov
• SBA limits the fees a broker can charge a borrower
• SBDC/SCORE/WBC do not charge for their services
• Report any suspected fraud to OIG’s Hotline at 800-767-0385 or
online at, https://bit.ly/2UxdAhL 42
