The CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program, SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan and SBDC Bridge Loan are just a few of the programs that have been developed by the federal government to help your business during this difficult time. The purpose of the COVID-19 Small Business Resiliency Loan program is to provide much-needed funds as businesses await funding from larger federal programs. The Sarasota County Small Business Resiliency Loan program is still under development. Please check back often for updates as they evolve.
