SBA EIDL Advance Grant

The Small Business Administration is continuing to hand out loans for business owners amidst the COVID-19 crisis. Known as the Economic Injury Disaster Loan, the EIDL is the most commonly taken SBA loan. It grants up to $10,000 to small business owners who are damaged by the COVID-19 disaster economically.

Although there are plenty of loan options offered by the Small Business Administration outside of what’s covered under the CARES Act, the EIDL Advance Grants remain an option. Even if you received an EDIL grant in the past, you can only qualify for the advance grant. The only requirement for this is that the EIDL you received must be under $10,000.
