The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering designated states and territories low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). These loans can provide vital economic assistance to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing. Upon a request received from a state’s or territory’s Governor, SBA will issue under its own authority, as provided by the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, an Economic Injury Disaster Loan declaration. SBA has issued an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) declaration for the State of California and certain small businesses in San Bernardino County are eligible to apply online for EIDL assistance. To verify if a small business is eligible for EIDL and to apply visit: SBA.gov/disaster.
SBA assists small businesses with accessing federal resources, such as working capital loans and counseling, and navigating their preparedness plans. Find more information on SBA’s available resources at: SBA.gov/Coronavirus.
Small businesses are encouraged to do their part to keep their employees, customers and themselves healthy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers the most up-to-date information on COVID-19, as well as Guidance for Businesses and Employers to Plan and Respond.

The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses without credit available elsewhere; businesses with credit available elsewhere are not eligible. The interest rate for non-profits is 2.75%.
- SBA offers loans with long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to a maximum of 30 years. Terms are determined on a case-by-case basis, based upon each borrower’s ability to repay.
- SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loans are just one piece of the expanded focus of the federal government’s coordinated response, and the SBA is strongly committed to providing the most effective and customer-focused response possible.
