Restaurant Revitalization Fund

April 27, 2021 By EDC

Emergency assistance is available for eligible restaurants, bars, and other similar businesses impacted by COVID-19.

Restaurants and bars have been hard hit by the pandemic. You may qualify for assistance from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Restaurant Revitalization Fund to keep your business running.

Eligible businesses can receive funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss from this SBA program. Businesses can receive up to $10 million per business with a maximum of $5 million per physical location.

You do not need to repay the funds if the funds are used for eligible expenses and are spent by March 11, 2023. Eligible expenses include payroll, business mortgage and rent payments, debt service and utilities.

Webinars

The SBA’s Minnesota District Office is holding multiple webinars to help qualifying businesses better understand the Restaurant Revitalization Fund.

During the webinars, the SBA will review:

  • Eligibility requirements
  • Determining the amount you are eligible for
  • Other SBA relief programs impact on RRF
  • Eligible uses of funds
  • And more
