🚨 Louisiana Business Owners Impacted by Tropical Storm Arthur: Financial Help Is Available 🚨

If your business was affected by the June 17-18 storm, you may be eligible for low-interest SBA Disaster Loans to help recover and rebuild.

✅ Repair or replace damaged property, equipment, inventory, and business assets
✅ Cover working capital and operating expenses through Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL)
✅ Up to $2 million available for eligible businesses and nonprofits
✅ Payments not due for 12 months from the first disbursement

📍 Businesses in Avoyelles, St. Landry, St. Tammany, and Terrebonne may qualify for both physical damage and economic injury assistance.

📍 Businesses in neighboring parishes—including Acadia, Lafayette, Rapides, Tangipahoa, Washington, Lafourche, Orleans, and others—may qualify for EIDL assistance even if they had no physical damage.

💡 If storm-related disruptions affected your cash flow, payroll, bills, or day-to-day operations, don't assume you don't qualify.
