Business Assistance: Navigating COVID-19
EIDL Available to U.S. Agricultural Businesses Impacted by COVID-19 Pandemic
The SBA is now accepting new Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) applications on a limited basis only, in order to provide unprecedented relief to U.S. agricultural businesses. For agricultural businesses that submitted an EIDL loan application through the streamlined application portal prior to the legislative change, SBA will move forward and process these applications without the need for re-applying. All other EIDL loan applications that were submitted before the portal stopped accepting new applications on April 15 will be processed on a first-in, first-out basis. For more information can be found here.
