Description of Program and Relief
L.A. CARES Corps Assistance with Business Loan Applications
L.A. CARES Corps provides small businesses with help in applying for federal loans under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that can help them survive the COVID-19 crisis. In order to provide emergency assistance to businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act provided extra funding for Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. The CARES Act additionally established the Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), Emergency Economic Injury Grant (EEIG), and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) as temporary programs to address the COVID-19 outbreak.
The SBA loan program is a pre-existing and ongoing program that provides federally-assisted loans to qualifying small businesses.
EIDL provides loans of up to $2 million with a 3.75% interest rate for businesses and a 2.75% interest rate for nonprofits with terms of up to 30 years. EEIG is part of the EIDL program, and provides an optional $10,000 advance as a non-repayable grant within days of a successful loan application.
PPP is a federally guaranteed loan program to help small businesses keep workers on payroll for a period of 8 weeks during this crisis. PPP loans can be up to $10 million with a 1.0% interest rate with a term of two years. Loans will be fully forgiven if at least 60% of the entire loan is allocated towards payroll, funds are used for eligible uses, and employment and compensation levels are maintained. Borrowers are required to expend the entirety of their PPP loans within 24 weeks or by December 21, 2020, whichever comes first.
