SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan

Application Deadline

Hurricane Milton: July 11, 2025

Program

SBA can provide Economic Injury Disaster loans to help cover the costs and expenses that your business would have been able to handle if the disaster did not happen. The EIDL amount will depend on how much financial impact you have experienced and your company’s financial needs, even if you didn’t suffer any property damage.

Use of proceeds:

Working capital and normal expenses such as the continuation of health care benefits, rent, utilities, and fixed debt payments
EIDL funds cannot be used for expanding facilities, buying fixed assets, repairing physical damages, refinancing debt, paying out dividends or bonuses, or paying back loans to stockholders or principals

EIDL assistance is available only to small businesses when SBA determines they are unable to obtain credit elsewhere
