Marina Coronavirus Responses: Securing Financial Aid

Rebounding from COVID-19 may seem daunting, but there are programs to assist small business owners. We're collecting here, for your reference, public and private resources for securing financial aid during this period of economic uncertainty. 

We started this post as the influx of help was just beginning, and it's become tough to keep up with. (I can't complain about this.) We've dialed it back to highlight some of the key resources at your disposal that are doing a better job of compiling than we are. 

• NMMA's resource page: nmma.org/coronavirus

• The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering Disaster Relief loans for small business affected by COVID-19. Click here to see if your business is eligible and start your application.
