Small Business Lending Assistance Update

Dear friends,
 
We wanted to take a moment and clarify the terms for the SBA Disaster Loan Program and our own NBEDC Lending Program.
 
Please note that as of this afternoon, the state’s $10 million loan fund for businesses affected by COVID-19 is not taking new applications. We are leaving the link to that fund (administered by the Massachusetts Growth Capitol Corporation) on our website because the fund may be recapitalized. The MGCC still has their normal loan application process in place.
 
As we receive new information, we will of course pass it along. Please take a moment to share this with any business in your network who may be in need.
 
Be well,
 
Derek
