Subsidy for Certain 7(a) or Other Small Business Loans

  • The SBA will cover all principal, interest, and associated fees of covered loans for the next six payments 
  • Contact your financial institution to see if your SBA loans qualify for this relief
  • In addition to the six months of direct payments, Congress is recommending lenders provide payment deferments when appropriate
