Small Businesses

Rep. Christina Sappey    May 21, 2020 | 10:15 AM

This is a difficult time for small business owners. I’m fighting in Harrisburg to ensure enough financial aid is available for you to survive this pandemic.

• Cosponsored legislation to expand access for small businesses and non-profit organizations to the state COVID-19 Working Capital Access Loan Program
• I have been in contact with small business owners and participated in town halls with the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry
• Support for small businesses: Financial aid is available for our area businesses.
  • Paycheck protection program provides incentive for employers to keep employees on payroll
  • SBA Debt Relief will pay the principal, interest and fees of select microloans
  • SBA Express Bridge Loans allows small businesses who currently have a business relationship with an SBA Express Lender to access up to $25,000 quickly
  • Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance provides up to a $10,000 loan advance to businesses experience hardships due to COVID-19
