SMALL BUSINESSES

CARES Act:  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provides the following relief for small businesses:

  • Emergency grants: The Act allocates $10 billion to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for emergency grants of up to $10,000 to provide immediate relief for the operating costs of businesses.
  • Forgivable loans: The Act allocates $350 billion to loan forgiveness grants to small businesses and non-profits to allow them to maintain their existing workforce and to help affray expenses such as rent, mortgage, and utilities.  Each business is eligible for up to $10 million.
  • Relief for existing loans: The Act allocates $17 billion to the SBA to allow it to cover six months of payments to small businesses with existing SBA loans.
  • Washington State Small Business Emergency Grant Information:  On April 7, Governor Inslee announced new grants of up to $10,000 for small businesses affected by COVID-19.
