Emergency Bridge Loan A short-term loan up to $25,000 available to small business owners who have between 2 to 100 employees, have been in operation for at least one full year and have verifiable, physical damage to their business. Bridge loans are not available for economic injury due to decreased sales or temporary business closure.

SBA Physical Disaster Business Loans Loans are available to qualified applicant businesses of any size for uninsured losses up to $2M to repair or replace business property to pre-disaster conditions. Loans may be used to replace or repair real estate, equipment, fixtures and inventory and leasehold improvements.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) Loans up to $2M are available for small businesses that sustain economic injury as a direct result of a disaster. These working capital loans are made to businesses without credit available elsewhere to help pay ordinary and necessary operating expenses that would have been payable barring the disaster.
