Brillient Called on by SBA With Contract for Loan Processing Surge

RESTON, Va., May 21, 2020 (Newswire.com) - The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States was proclaimed a national emergency, beginning March 13, 2020. Additional funds were recently made available to the SBA across its various loan programs by Congress under the passage of the CARES Act. These funds will support businesses during this time of economic challenge resulting from the pandemic crisis and have caused a large increase in the loan processing workload.  

The Office of Disaster Assistance (ODA), SBA, provides victims of natural disasters in the United States (including Puerto Rico and other U.S. possessions) with access to low interest loans. The goal of the program is to allow the borrowers to resume their normal lives and/or operations as soon as possible in the aftermath of disasters.
