For the past month or two, EIDL loan and grant requests were limited to businesses in the agricultural sector. Today, the Small Business Administration announced the reopening of the program for new applicants across all business sectors, according to CNBC.
As a reminder, one of the more interesting components to the EIDL loan request is that between $1,000 and $10,000 is given as a grant, which is essentially free money for any business affected by coronavirus with an easy application. Businesses get $1,000 per employee which means that a sole proprietor with get $1,000 and a business with 10 employees will max out at $10,000.
If your business was affected by coronavirus, and you have not yet applied for EIDL, it’s worth applying now. If you will be getting PPP forgiveness, you won’t gain from the EIDL grant.
