Local Funding Available to help businesses retain jobs and file for SBA Assistance

The North Platte Area Chamber and Development Corporation has teamed up with the City of North Platte to launch a job retention / business retention program funded by $250,000 from the Quality Growth Fund to provide technical assistance provider grants to help businesses apply for federal assistance through the federal CARES Act.

This proposal is providing small grants to all businesses needing to pay for independent third-party costs associated with SBA technical assistance, loan packaging, and funding related expenses.   Eligibility would be for “up to $2,500” per operating business entity, on the direct loan EIDL program.

Detailed invoices from the third-party provider would be the proof of the expenditure and evidence will need to be provided of the SBA application filing and the retention of jobs.

Contact the Chamber at 308-532-4966, gary@nparea.com or cassie@nparea.com if you have any questions.
