COVID-19 Financial Assistance

Governor Henry McMaster has announced that South Carolina is now designated as a federal disaster area. Therefore, the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) application is now open to business owners in all of South Carolina’s 46 counties. To be eligible, businesses must meet the SBA requirements of a small business (typically 500 employees or fewer) and be adversely affected by COVID-19. To save time and frustration, we encourage you to contact one of our consultants to guide you through completing the loan application - we are trained to do this.

On December 27, 2020, the new stimulus bill, an extension to the CARES Act, was signed into law, which provides additional assistance for small business owners and non-profits.

    To protect the public health of all South Carolinians, while also supporting business and industry essential to life health, safety and the integrity of the state’s economic infrastructure, Team SC has established a process for clarifying the designation of non-essential businesses outlined in Governor McMaster’s Executive Order 2020-17. If your business falls outside one of the categories of companies listed in the attached definition of “non-essential”, then continue your business operations, using all CDC, SC DHEC and applicable OSHA public safety guidance. If you are unsure whether your business is categorized as non-essential, you can submit a Clarification of Business Designation Form online (https://www.sccommerce.com/clarification-business-designation-form). A SC Commerce team member will respond with an official determination for your business within 24 hours. We know that all South Carolina businesses are important; however, if your business is determined to be non-essential, then discontinue operations and stay home (and take care of your family and loved ones). Thank you for all that you are doing to support South Carolina during this unprecedented COVID-19 event.
