FINAL WEEK to Apply for SBA Disaster Loans – Deadline is August 8!
Emmet County residents and businesses impacted by recent severe weather are urged to take advantage of low-interest SBA Physical Disaster Loans before the application deadline on Friday, August 8.
What You Need to Know:
- The SBA Disaster Loan Outreach Center in Harbor Springs will close at the end of the day Friday, August 8.
- If you're unsure about accepting a loan, apply anyway – you can always decline it later. If you change your mind, you may reactivate your application within 6 months of the decision letter.
- Many are waiting for FEMA or state grant funding, but those programs are not guaranteed. An SBA loan could be a valuable option to have in hand.
