SBA Opens Business Recovery Center
|
|
|
The Small Business Administration has opened a Business Recovery Center in Glynn County as of September 27. The center, located at the UGA Marine Extension & Georgia Sea Grant Center on 715 Bay Street in Brunswick, can provide information regarding disaster loans, answer questions, and assist businesses in completing SBA applications. The BRC is open Mon-Fri 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and Sat 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
Businesses and non-profits can apply up to $2 million to repair or replace disaster-damaged real estate, machinery, equipment, inventory and other business assets. Loans for working capital, known as Economic Injury Disaster Loans, are available even if the business did not suffer any physical damage.
The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is November 14, 2017. The deadline to return economic injury applications is June 15, 2018.
