Small Business Loan Program and Other Help
The City of Healdsburg is providing economic assistance and other resources to local businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
City Creates $600,000 Small Business Sustainability Loan Program
In the spring of 2020, the City of Healdsburg created a $600,000 Small Business Sustainability (SBS) Loan Program to help its small-business community weather the coronavirus pandemic.
The City’s loan program provided zero-interest loans of up to $15,000 to eligible small businesses of 25 or fewer full-time employees; these funds may help businesses cover day-to-day operating expenses, lease or mortgage payments, materials, supplies and services. Loan payments will be deferred until May 1, 2021.
The $600,000 in loan funding came from the City’s Measure V funds, a half-cent sales tax that pays for key City services such as public safety, street maintenance and repair, and economic development. The SBS Loan Program opened on Friday, April 24. The loan applications were then reviewed.
Loan Recipients
On May 12, 2020, the City announced the local businesses approved for a loan. All of the businesses below have been informed. Several businesses have told us that since they received funds through the federal Paycheck Protection Program, they wanted to return their SBS loan so other businesses can benefit. We are very thankful and appreciative of that. Once we tally how much funding we have left in this program, we will try to get those funds to other businesses that applied.
