Deadline Update: The Restaurant Revitalization Fund Closes On May 24th
The US Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that eligible eating establishments have until Monday, May 24, 8 p.m. ET, to submit applications to the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF). The $28.6 billion program includes set asides to ensure the smallest of the small restaurants and other eating establishments have equitable access .
While all qualified restaurants may submit applications, because SBA still has potential set-aside funding available for eligible establishments with 2019 annual revenue of not more than $50,000, the agency indicated it will keep the application portal open until 5/24. Eligible establishments are encouraged to apply through SBA-recognized point-of-sale vendors or directly via the SBA online application portal.
As a reminder, RRF was launched by the SBA to provide restaurants and other eligible for-profit businesses with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $5 million per location, not to exceed $10 million total for the applicant and any affiliated businesses.
