Government Assistance for Small Businesses

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program for Small Businesses

To assist small businesses impacted by COVID-19, the government has passed the CARES Act, which expands the existing SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan program with an additional $10 billion in funding. Learn more about how these loans work and how to apply with the SBA in our helpful guide. (Note: OnDeck does not participate in the SBA EIDL program).

Local and State Government Assistance Programs for Small Businesses

Beyond the CARES Act, many local and state governments have launched financial assistance programs to support small businesses impacted by COVID-19. Small businesses can apply for these programs directly with their city or state in addition to the CARES Act SBA programs. Learn more about the different programs available in our regularly updated guide.
