Coronavirus Small Business Guidance & Loan Resources

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that provides approximately $2 trillion in stimulus funding. The Act includes $350 billion in funding specifically for small business loans. As a Small Business Administration approved lender, SouthPoint Bank is here to help partner with you during these difficult times.

What does it mean for my business?

The CARES Act allows the SBA to provide federally backed loans through June 30, 2020 to support our small businesses across the United States.

On March 31, 2020, the Treasury Department issued guidance on applying for one of these loans beginning April 3, 2020. SouthPoint Bank is prepared to work with you and process your loan request during this ever-evolving process.
