The EDC and COC SBDCs have put together a Business Recovery Guide to assist business who are affected by natural disasters, such as the fires that severely impact our state annually. This guide was put together after the Hill/Woolsey Fires, but the information is useful in many instances.
The guide provides a list of resources and agencies that business owners may contact for more information regarding benefits that may be available to yo pertaining to business recovery assistance, including free technical consulting, low-interest loans, tax relief, extended filing deadlines and unemployment, and insurance benefits.
Business owners who have been impacted by a disaster that has been declared an official emergency can also visit DisasterAssistance.gov to apply for government assistance specific to the issue they are facing.
