Even if a survivor of the recent floods in South Carolina doesn’t plan to accept a loan from the Small Business Association, he or she is encouraged to apply, because the application may make them eligible for other assistance. Homeowners, renters, small businesses and even nonprofits may benefit from loans for disaster-related damage.
