The Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) took the first step in providing relief to Pennsylvania small businesses affected by COVID-19 by authorizing the transfer of $40 million to the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA).
The transferred funds will ultimately be combined with existing funds in PIDA’s Small Business First Program and will be used to provide zero-interest loans to small businesses. Over $60 million for loans will be available to businesses with 100 or fewer full-time employees.
Loans of up to $100,000 will be available to small businesses to use as working capital. Interest rates are being dropped from about 3% to 0%. Detailed guidelines for the program are still being developed at this time. In addition to a 0% interest rate, there will be no application fee and the terms will include no payments and no interest during the first year of the loan.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) was established as an independent agency to administer Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages. The CFA holds fiduciary responsibility over the funding of programs and investments in Pennsylvania’s economic growth. More information regarding programs administered by the CFA can be found on the CFA website
