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.
