The U.S. Small Business Administration has opened two Business Recovery Centers in Richmond and Henrico to assist businesses and nonprofit organizations impacted by severe storms that occurred Jan. 5 through 11. The centers aim to provide support with disaster loan applications and other recovery resources.

“SBA’s Business Recovery Centers have consistently proven their value to business owners following a disaster,” said Chris Stallings, associate administrator of the SBA’s Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience.

“Business owners can visit these centers to meet face-to-face with specialists who will guide them through the disaster loan application process and connect them with resources to support their recovery.”

Customer service representatives are available at the centers to answer questions, explain the disaster loan application process, and assist with completing applications.

Walk-ins are welcome and appointments can be scheduled at appointment.sba.gov.
