The SBA has not yet announced when they will begin accepting applications. Today’s release is a sample application and guide so that restaurants can review and prepare.

The IRA and National Restaurant Association have reviewed early drafts of the application and discussed them with the SBA. Our FAQ document, released earlier this week, reflects this.
