Hurricane season officially starts June 1. Planning ahead for a disaster can save business owners thousands of dollars in lost revenue due to structural damage, content damage, interruption of operations and employee displacement.

According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses never reopen after a disaster, and another 25% fail within one year. Lack of preparedness is often the key reason, which is why we encourage all business owners to prepare their business for the season with the Volusia Prepares Business checklist at https://www.volusiabusiness.org/media-center/news-and-stories/hurricane-preparedness-for-business.stml

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest federal disaster loans to Volusia County small businesses and private nonprofit organizations that suffered financial losses due to the frost and freeze that occurred Jan. 23 through Feb. 5.

Assistance through SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program provides working capital to eligible small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, nurseries, and private nonprofits that experienced financial impacts related to the event.

The program is designed to assist organizations that lost revenue due to the cold weather, even if they did not sustain physical damage. Loan funds may be used to cover fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that went unpaid as a result of the frost and freeze.

For more information, interested applicants may call the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 or email [email protected]. The deadline to submit economic injury applications is Nov. 4.

Applications may be submitted online at:
