SBA Relief Programs

The SBA is offering grants and federal disaster loans for working capital to certain small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the coronavirus.

  • Shuttered Venue Operators Grant – For live performing arts organization operators, museum operators, motion picture theater operators (including owners), talent representatives, theatrical producers
  • Restaurant Revitalization Fund – For small restaurants, caterers, food trucks, concessions operators, brewpubs, wineries and similar small businesses that have been hard-hit by the pandemic
  • Economic Injury Disaster Loans – For small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and most private non-profit organizations

These programs come directly from the SBA, and applications will be made through the SBA, not Pinnacle. Still, your Pinnacle financial advisor can answer your questions, help you gather the required materials and help determine how they fit into your overall needs.

Watch this Pinnacle Webinar with LaTanya Channel, SBA's Tennessee director to get more information and answers to many of your questions.
