SBA Disaster Assistance Now Available to all Washington Small Businesses Economically Impacted by COVID-19

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has amended its original disaster declaration to apply to all Washington small businesses, regardless of county. These low-interest loans for working capital are now available to any small businesses in the state of Washington suffering economic fallout from the COVID-19 outbreak.

Small businesses, private nonprofits of any size, small agricultural cooperatives, and small aquaculture enterprises that have been financially impacted as a direct result of the COVID-19 outbreak since January 31 may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred.
