Economic Injury Disaster Loans
An SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan may be available to small enterprises, small agricultural cooperatives, and the majority of private nonprofit organizations that are situated in a declared disaster area and have sustained significant economic harm (EIDL).
Find out more about a program if you've been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL).
You may qualify for an SBA EIDL if you fall under one of the following categories of firms operating in a region that has been declared a disaster area and have sustained a significant economic injury:
- Small business
- Small agricultural cooperative
- Most private nonprofit organizations
Eligibility
- Substantial economic injury means the business is unable to meet its obligations and pay its ordinary and necessary operating expenses.
- EIDL provides the necessary working capital to help small businesses impacted by a disaster survive until normal operations resume.
- EIDL assistance is available only to small businesses when SBA determines they are unable to obtain credit elsewhere.
To assist with meeting financial obligations and operating costs that might have been covered had the tragedy not occurred, SBA can offer up to $2 million* in funding. Regardless of whether the company sustained property damage, the loan amount will be determined by your actual economic damages and the financial demands of your organization.
*A business may qualify for, both, an EIDL and a physical disaster loan.
The total sum of all loans cannot exceed $2 million. Property damage is covered by a different SBA disaster assistance program called business physical disaster loans.
Collateral Requirements
- Required for loans over $25,000
- Real estate is the preferred collateral. Loans of $200,000 or less will not require the owner of the business to use their primary residence as collateral if it is determined the owner has other assets of equal quality and a value equal to or greater than the amount of the loan
How to Apply
- Apply online for an SBA disaster assistance loan. SBA will send an inspector to estimate the cost of damage, once your application is completed and submitted.
- Complete, sign, and date IRS Form 4506-T with your application, giving permission for the IRS to provide SBA with your tax return information.
