Local small businesses have another resource available during these challenging times.
The nonprofit Pennsylvania 30 Day Fund is offering forgivable loans of up to $3,000 to small businesses in need.
In order to qualify for assistance, for-profit small businesses must employ between three and 30 people. Businesses also must be based in Pennsylvania and have been operating for one year as well as be owned and operated by a Pennsylvania resident.
Money dispersed by the Pennsylvania 30 Day Fund does not need to be repaid but if businesses who receive assistance would like to give the money back at a later date, it will be used to help other small Pennsylvania businesses in need.
