The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding businesses in Broward, Collier, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties in the State of Florida that Economic Injury Disaster Loans are still available to small businesses economically impacted by the fire November 19, 2006 at the strip mall located at 1890 SW 8th Street, Miami, Florida.
"Small businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the December 26 deadline," said Frank Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations Center East. Small businesses may apply for loans up to $l.5 million if they suffered substantial economic injury from the disaster. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. These loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits. The interest rate on these loans is 4 percent, with a maximum term of 30 years. The SBA determines the amount of economic injury and the terms of each loan based on the financial circumstances of each borrower. To obtain a loan application, interested business owners should contact the SBA's Customer Service Center by calling 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339 for the hearing-impaired) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST. Business disaster loan applications can also be downloaded from http://www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155. The application deadline for economic injury applications is December 26, 2007. For more information about the SBA's Disaster Loan Programs, visit our website at http://www.sba.gov. |
