Given the incredible interest in Fulton County’s initial small business Emergency Loan Program, the Development Authority of Fulton County has stepped up to develop a similar $1.5M program, according to a press release.

Small business owners in Fulton County, including those located inside the city of Atlanta, will be able to access the newly created Development Authority of Fulton County Business Contingency Loan Program.

Applicants can receive up to $50,000 in emergency working capital for qualifying Fulton County small businesses who have experienced loss of revenue or service disruption due to COVID-19 pandemic.

To qualify, organizations must be in business at least two years. All applications are now being accepted online. Businesses must be asked to provide required documentation to ACE by fax, mail, or email. A final decision will be made as quickly as possible.
