To provide emergency cash flow relief to small businesses and nonprofits negatively impacted by the coronavirus, Connecticut is now offering qualifying organizations with 100 or fewer employees access to no-interest loans. Bethel Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan says the Connecticut Recovery Bridge Loan program will allow qualified entities to apply for a loan of up to $75,000, or three months of operating expenses, whichever is lesser. The $25 million short-term emergency loan program will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The program will be expedited with the administrative and underwriting support of Connecticut Innovations.
