ARC Loan Program for Small New Jersey Businesses

This short, but informative podcast shows how small businesses under the gun can use the ARC (America’s Recovery Capital) loan guarantee program to provide temporary relief from credit card debt and some other specific obligations.

This podcast is in interview format with Ron Johnson from the SBA interviewing Eric Zarnikow, the SBA Associate Administrator for Capital Access.

Some highlights from the podcast:

Ron Johnson: Well, SBA is doing some incredible things. Tell us, what is the ARC Loan Program and how does it work?

Eric Zarnikow: Sure. The ARC Loan or America’s Recovery Capital Loan gives viable small businesses, who are suffering immediate financial hardship, temporary financial relief so that they can keep their doors open and get their cash flow back on track. So specifically, these are deferred payment loans of up to $35,000. They can be used to pay principal and interest on existing qualifying small business loans. The loans are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA and there are no SBA fees associated with the loans.

SBA Loan Changes Help Small Businesses

This is an audio podcast you can listen to for tips on ways the Small Business Administration (SBA) recent loan changes can help your New Jersey small business.

Highlights from the podcast:

Ron Johnson: Now can I qualify for a loan if I’m just
starting a business?

Eric Zarnikow: You know, one of the things SBA does, and
a lot of our partial government guarantees actually go to
support a start up business. So SBA loan programs are
available for both start up businesses as well as established
businesses. The business does need to be organized for profit.
It needs to meet our size standards, and it needs to be a small
business. And we’re really focused on helping access to
capital for businesses that can’t get capital through
conventional lending channels, so we’re actually broadening the
access to capital for small businesses. In the end, it needs
to be a creditworthy small business. You’ll need to work with
a lending partner as part of getting a loan that’s backed by
the SBA, but there are resources that are available to people
who are just starting a business.
