What Businesses Need to Know About the CARES Act
Centric Bank is here for Small Business!
The team at Centric Bank has been working diligently to help our customers, as well as small businesses and non-profits in the communities we serve, to weather this challenging and uncertain time. Below you will find information on how to apply for Paycheck Protection Program relief loans, and EIDL loans.
On Friday, March 27, 2020, Congress passed the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security), which includes the Paycheck Protection Program and changes to the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loans. It is anticipated that another round of funding will be approved the week of April 20, 2020.
Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) – The SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program provides small businesses with working capital loans of up to $2 million that can provide vital economic support to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing. You may learn more and apply on the SBA’s Coronavirus (COVID-19): Small Business Guidance & Loan Resources page.
