COVID-19 Resources
The current pandemic is affecting so many and we would like to offer some assistance on how to locate information, support and financing options.
One of the IBank Small Business Finance Center's loan guarantee programs is designed for Disaster Relief specifically and is currently available to small businesses needing assistance to overcome economic injury caused by COVID-19. We have Financial Development Corporation (FDC) partners throughout the state that assists businesses in securing a 95% guarantee on a bank loan. The FDCs are listed on this page and they work directly with lenders to underwrite the loan, which the SBFC guarantees (upon approval), please reach out to them directly for assistance.
Additionally, many local government agencies are offering assistance and resources as this has been officially declared a federal and state emergency. Check your city and county, as well as the quick links for more information.
