Dear Members,
 
The Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to bringing you resources and information to ensure the economic health of our small businesses.
Primarily, we encourage all businesses to follow County Public Health Department’s COVID-19-related guidance to the public.
 
Please take the time to look at Small Business Association’s Disaster Loans Program. San Luis Obispo County will be eligible for SBA loans this Friday, March 20. County officials have assured us that the SBA website will be updated accordingly. We recommend affected businesses get started on their applications NOW to get your loan processed as soon as possible.
 
There are three steps involved in obtaining this loan. Find more detailed information here.
1. Apply online for a loan of up to 2 million
2. Verification and loan processing decision
3. Loans approved and disbursed
 
If you need any assistance in filling out your application or general guidance contact the Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce.
