The gov't is prepared to allocate $10,000 to small businesses affected by COVID - to include Black owned small businesses.

Every Black-owned business with or W/OUT employees or with or W/OUT a legal designation should apply.

Don't count yourself out

Here is how to apply ==>
Black owned businesses are more likely to have no employees, one operator & revenues LESS than $100k!

The Economic Injury Disaster Loan ( #EIDL) has a provision that can award a $10,000 cash advance from the Small Business Administration to COVID affected small businesses.
Who qualifies?

Sole Proprietors- did not INCORPORATE the business. Do not have an LLC, etc. Sells products & reports income on personal taxes

Independent Contractors- contracted to do work by another business - Uber, Lyft, Instacart/Shipt, etc

LLC, LLP, Corp- biz owners
Nonprofit owners qualify too - 501c3, 501c4, etc

You do not need any collateral - so you don’t have to put up your house

No personal guarantee needed - if the business becomes unable to repay the debt then the individual is NOT personally responsible
Here’s what to expect, it takes 10 minutes.
