Loan funds will be allocated directly to businesses that were qualified as having met BAC’s underwriting standards after the execution of a binding loan agreement with the Brooklyn Alliance Capital. 65% of the total loan funds must be reserved for Minority/Women and/or Immigrant-owned businesses.
Their loans will assist small businesses to pay their bills, clean and sanitize their shops, hire staff, pay vendors, and more. These resources will help our borough’s small businesses to outlast the pandemic, save jobs, and support local neighborhoods.
Please note: The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is making donations of PPE available (masks & thermometers) to select businesses. Contact them for additional information
