What kinds of small businesses can apply?
Examples of eligible industries include but are not
limited to the following: hotels, recreational facilities,
charter boats, manufactures, sports vendors, owners
of rental property, restaurants, retailers, souvenir
shops, travel agencies, and wholesalers.
What other criteria is involved?
The applicant business must have a physical presence in the declared disaster

SBA’s Working Capital Loans are Different
from Other SBA Loans
SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDLs) funds come directly from the
U.S. Treasury.
Applicants do not go through a bank to apply. Instead apply directly to
SBA’s Disaster Assistance Program at: DisasterLoan.sba.gov
There is no cost to apply.
There is no obligation to take the loan if offered.
The maximum unsecured loan amount is $25,000.
Applicants can have an existing SBA Disaster Loan and still qualify for an
EIDL for this disaster, but the loans cannot be consolidated.
