On Friday, New York State announced the launch of the New York Forward Loan Fund (NYFLF). This $100 million small business relief program will distribute loans to eligible businesses with 20 or fewer employees and less than $3 million in revenue. These funds will be available to businesses and nonprofits that have not received a loan from either the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) or the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) related to COVID-19 in 2020. Borrowers can apply to receive funds here; pre-application begins today. The SBDC New York office is also offering webinars on the program; to learn more and register click here.
