U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Disaster Loans The SBA offers a range of disaster loans to individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to cover losses not covered by insurance or FEMA. These loans help cover both personal and business expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred. October 15, 2024 Update: The SBA announced that it has exhausted funds for its disaster loan program. Until Congress appropriates additional funds, the SBA is pausing new loan offers. The SBA is encouraging individuals and small businesses to continue to apply for loans given assurances from congressional leaders that additional funding will be provided upon Congress’s return in November. Click here to read the press release. Home Disaster Loans: Available to homeowners and renters to repair or replace damaged real estate and personal property, including vehicles. Business Physical Disaster Loans: These loans are designed for businesses of all sizes to repair or replace damaged property owned by the business, such as real estate, machinery, equipment, and supplies. Private non-profit organizations like charities and churches are also eligible. Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL): These are working capital loans designed to help small businesses, agricultural cooperatives, aquaculture businesses, and private nonprofits meet financial obligations they can’t cover due to the disaster. These loans are meant to support recovery during the disaster recovery period. For more information, visit the SBA Disaster Assistance website or contact them directly. 2. FEMA Disaster Assistance FEMA offers a wide range of financial assistance programs for those impacted by natural disasters. If you have insurance, file a claim immediately, as FEMA cannot cover losses that are already insured. FEMA provides grants for: Temporary housing Home repairs Other disaster-related expenses not covered by insurance You can apply for FEMA assistance online or by calling 800-621-3362. 3. Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) Individuals who have lost their jobs or had their employment interrupted due to Hurricane Helene may be eligible for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA). This program extends unemployment benefits to those who may not be eligible for state unemployment, such as the self-employed or small business owners. To qualify, you must: Live, work, or were scheduled to work in a federally declared disaster area. Have lost employment or had employment interrupted due to the disaster. Have exhausted regular state unemployment benefits. Eligibility is determined weekly, so you must continue to be out of work as a direct result of the disaster to maintain benefits. Visit the Disaster Unemployment Assistance page of the NC Department of Commerce website for more information about this program.  4. Freddie Mac, HUD, and FHA Mortgage Assistance If your home has been affected by Hurricane Helene and you are struggling to make mortgage payments, Freddie Mac, HUD, and the FHA offer mortgage relief options. These include: Forbearance plans to temporarily suspend or reduce your mortgage payments. Loan modifications to make your mortgage more affordable over the long term. Mortgage assistance programs designed specifically for disaster recovery. Contact your mortgage provider to inquire about disaster relief programs available through these organizations. 5.

Western North Carolina Small Business Initiative Appalachian Community Capital has partnered with Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to provide relief grants to small businesses harmed by Hurricane Helene.

Small Business Line of Credit Obtaining a line of credit for your small business can help your entrepreneurial spirit take the company to the next level. This line of credit can be a more affordable option than a business loan because you only pay interest on the money you utilize. Acquiring this type of loan depends on your current credit score and how much a bank perceives you as a risk. For small businesses, a line of credit is a good short-term option that works much like a credit card in the way it provides extra funds or cushion for financing “ongoing working capital.” Credit lines can be used in a variety of ways to benefit your business, including: remodeling, expanding or upgrading your facilities; buying new technological equipment; purchasing extra inventory for future events; launching a “new online marketing campaign”; creating a “new product prototype” or pursuing a “promising business opportunity”; and covering “unexpected expenses.” No matter which benefit you’re looking for with a small business line of credit, there are some factors to consider when determining if it’s the best financial option for your business’ cash flow. Top 3 Advantages of Obtaining a Small Business Line of Credit Stay in control—A line of credit enables you to further your business goals without bringing on investors, who will likely want at least some, if not a large portion, of control over your business in exchange for their financial backing. You also don’t have to “dip into personal savings or ask friends and family for money.” Financial flexibility—As previously mentioned, this credit line gives you more flexibility than a closed-end loan because you only “access money when you need it,” and you don’t have to pay interest on the funds you don’t use. Establish credit history—Building a good credit history for your business now helps to better your chances of obtaining “future credit accounts and loans.” Get a Flexible Line of Credit for Your Small Business at First Bank At First Bank, small businesses hold a special place in our hearts. Since 1935, when we opened our first branch in Troy, North Carolina, we’ve been known as a community bank that strives to assist local businesses get the financial support they need to achieve their 3 min read
