As discussed in our previous guides on federal and state financial resources, the CARES Act introduced many provisions to help small businesses survive through this pandemic. To supplement the federal programs, many states created their own loan programs to help local businesses stay afloat. These programs by the government were created with the intent to cover the economic loss suffered by many due to the coronavirus outbreak. While there are many government loan programs available, many corporations have created private loan funds to provide further financial aid for small businesses. At Farmer Brown, we are here to help independent contractors and small contracting businesses connect with government and private lenders. We have complied this list of private loan options suitable for contracting businesses affected by the pandemic. This COVID-19 private loan guide for the construction industry will be continually updated with as many private loan options across the nation that we find appropriate.
