The SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan is a working capital loan. This means that the funds can only be used for the day to day, normal expenses incurred in your business. There are some restrictions on its use that could cause the SBA to demand the repayment of the funds immediately. In order to prevent that outcome, we wanted to provide you with some guidance on what is considered “normal operating expenses.”
