The Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program has been one of the most popular forms of financial assistance for small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan program provides up to $2 million in low interest loans and grants of up to $10,000 to cover immediate, essential operating expenses. Many business owners are wondering if the EIDL will turn into a grant. In this blog, we’ll explore the facts on the EIDL and answer the question of whether or not it will become a grant. 

What is the EIDL? 

The EIDL is a loan program administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to help small businesses and non-profits that have suffered substantial economic injury as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan program provides up to $2 million in low interest loans and grants of up to $10,000 to cover immediate, essential operating expenses. The loan program is designed to provide an immediate cash flow to businesses to help them survive the economic crisis. 

The loan can be used to cover expenses such as payroll, accounts payable, rent, and other operational costs. 

Will the EIDL turn into a grant? 

At this time, the EIDL program is a loan program, not a grant. While the SBA has made some changes to the program that make it more attractive to businesses, including increasing the loan amount from $2 million to $10 million and reducing the interest rate from 3.75% to 1%, the loan is still a loan and must be paid back. 

The SBA is currently working on a program that would turn EIDL loans into grants, but the details of the program have not yet been released. It is unclear when the program will be available or how it will work.

What other options are available for businesses? 

In addition to the EIDL, there are other loan and grant programs available to help businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is a loan program administered by the SBA that provides forgivable loans to businesses to help them keep their employees on the payroll. The SBA is also offering grants of up to $10,000 to businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic. 

In addition, many states and local governments are offering assistance programs for businesses, including grants and loans. Business owners should check with their local government to see what options are available.
