Description of Program and Relief
Manhattan City, Kansas Business Emergency Assistance Loan Program
The Manhattan Business Emergency Assistance Loan Program provides loan funds to help for-profit businesses and private, non-profit organizations that have an immediate (less than 14 days) need to maintain business operations. Under this program, a loan can be up to $5,000, or up to $10,000 for businesses that are ineligible for SBA disaster relief, the Kansas HIRE program, or any other state or federal program created to assist businesses during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. The loan can be up to $20,000 for a primary employer, defined as a business that exports over 75% of its products or services outside of the city of Manhattan that has maintained at least 80% of its employees from the fourth quarter of 2019 to March 31, 2020, and maintains employment levels for 12 months after receiving the money.
These loan funds are not to be used to supplant other programs, but instead to provide a bridge to the point that the business can receive funds from other resources. Funds may be used for business stabilization expenses such as working capital, payroll, required debt payments, rent/lease payments, marketing, setting up e-commerce platforms and inventory. Funds may not be used for personal uses or for any uses that are prohibited by federal, state, or local law or regulation.
Government or Lead Agency
