Did You Know: Small Business Administration and DR
Perhaps you already know that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) provides low interest disaster loans to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and private, non-profit organizations to repair or replace real estate, personal property, machinery and equipment, inventory and business assets that have been damaged or destroyed in a declared disaster.
Through its Office of Disaster Assistance (ODA), the SBA is responsible for providing affordable, timely and accessible financial assistance to homeowners, renters and businesses following a disaster. Financial assistance is available in the form of low-interest, long-term loans.
But what you may not know is that the SBA also offers a wealth of planning guidelines and useful information small businesses can use to protect their operations. Check out their offerings:
