Virginia Deadline to Apply for SBA Working Capital Disaster Loans is May 26

ATLANTA, April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and private nonprofit organizations in Scott and Washington counties and the independent city of Bristol in Virginia of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for economic injury caused by tornadoes, high winds, hail and lightning on July 27-28, 2014. The deadline to apply for a working capital disaster loan is May 26, 2015.

"These counties and this independent city are eligible because they are contiguous to one or more primary counties in Tennessee.  The Small Business Administration recognizes that disasters do not usually stop at county or state lines. For that reason, counties adjacent to primary counties named in the declaration are included," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.

Working capital disaster loans up to $2 million are available at 2.625 percent for private
nonprofit organizations and 4 percent for small businesses, with terms up to 30 years. The loans are intended to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other expenses that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.  To be considered for this assistance, eligible entities need to apply by the deadline.

Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA's secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Applications and program information are available by calling the SBA's Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing), or by sending an email to [email protected]. Loan applications can also be downloaded from the SBA's website at www.sba.gov/disaster. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

The deadline to return economic injury applications is May 26, 2015.
