Assistance Resources



Updated October 5, 2020
This CRS Insight presents selected websites and CRS products potentially relevant to small businesses
that are directly affected by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID- 19) pandemic and seeking economic
relief and assistance.
For an analysis of the small business provisions in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, see CRS Report R46284, COVID-19 Relief Assistance to
Small Businesses: Issues and Policy Options.
For businesses interested in supporting COVID-19 mobilization efforts, see CRS Insight Ni 1419,
COVID-19: Selected Federal Resources for Businesses Seeking to Assist with Research and
Manufacturing Efforts.
For a list of CRS products related to COVID-19, see the CRS COVID-19 Resources page.


Selected Resources

Note that the federal government typically assists businesses through loans rather than grants-though
there are exceptions. Sometimes local and state governments may offer business grants (see section below
on State, Local, and Philanthropic Resources).

Small Business Administration
The Small Business Administration's (SBA's) webpage Coronavirus Relief Options provides information
on assistance programs made available by the CARES Act.
    *  SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) are low-interest loans and are still available
       to eligible small businesses.
    *  The Emergency EIDL Grant program provided EIDL advance payments of up to
       $10,000, which did not need to be repaid, and which are no longer available.
    *  The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), perhaps the most prominent program, is no
       longer accepting applications.
                                                             Congressional Research Service
