Minnesota small businesses and private nonprofits may now apply for disaster loans through the U.S. Small Business Administration. These loans are for those organizations suffering economic injury due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus. The online application is found at DisasterLoan.sba.gov, or click the button below. Details include:

• Rates are 3.75% for businesses and 2.75% for nonprofits.
• Up to $2 million with terms up to 30 years.
• May be used to help pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
