Appointments are now available at the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce for assistance with the ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN (EIDL) application process. This service is available to Chamber members and non-members.
Governor Jared Polis has announced that all 64 counties in Colorado have been approved to enable loan applications for Economic Injury Disaster Loans through the Small Business Administration. As part of our efforts to assist the Broomfield Business Community during the COVID-19 pandemic, we offer the following information to assist you with the navigation of the application process. While you absolutely can complete the process on your own, please note that the Chamber will also be providing one-on-one assistance sessions by appointment in our Chamber office.
Tammy will be available to assist you beginning at 8:00am on Monday, March 23rd. Please email her at Tammy.Whitaker@BroomfieldChamber.com to schedule an appointment. Please refer to the below list for the basic guidelines outlining all necessary information needed to complete the application and allow a minimum of 30 minutes for your appointment.
1. You can apply online at SBA’s secure website at http://www.disasterloan.sba.gov.ela or by mail. Hard copy applications should be mailed to US Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Rd., FT. Worth, TX 76155-2243.
2. If you are applying online (highly recommended and encouraged) with assistance from the Chamber, it is recommended that you bring your laptop to the appointment.
3. As a small business, you may apply for a maximum EIDL business loan of $2 million.
4. The interest rate for an EIDL loan will not exceed 4%.
5. The repayment term for the loan cannot be more than 30 years. Your repayment term will be determined by your ability to repay.
6. An SBA loan officer will work with you to provide all the necessary information needed to reach a loan determination. The more complete your application, the more quickly a determination can be made. Their goal is to arrive at a decision on your application within 2 – 3 weeks.
7. A loan officer will contact you to discuss the loan recommendation and your next steps. You will also be advised in writing of all loan decisions.
8. SBA will prepare and send your loan closing documents to you for your signature. Once you sign and return the documents an initial disbursement will be made within 5 days. Depending on the amount requested, the loan may be disbursed in installments rather than as a whole, i.e. $25000 as working capital for an EIDL request.
