DHSEM sharing news release on behalf of SBA
District Director Frances Padilla of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Colorado District office announced today that SBA will close its Golden Disaster Loan Outreach Center on Friday, July 21.
“SBA opened the center to provide personalized assistance to Colorado businesses and residents who were affected by the hailstorm that occurred May 8, 2017. Until the center closes, SBA customer service representatives will continue to be available to meet with businesses and residents to answer their questions, explain SBA’s disaster loan program and close their approved disaster loans,” said Padilla.
Businesses and residents can meet with SBA representatives on the days and times as indicated below. No appointment is necessary.
For small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size, SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. Economic injury assistance is available regardless of whether the business suffered any property damage.
Disaster loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property.
Interest rates can be as low as 3.215 percent for businesses, 2.5 percent for private nonprofit organizations and 1.938 percent for homeowners and renters with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.
