SBA

ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is reminding small businesses and private nonprofit (PNP)organizations in North Carolina of the March 17, deadline to apply for low interest federal disaster loans to offset economic losses caused by the drought that began on July 9, 2024.

The disaster declaration covers the counties of Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Pender and Robeson, as well as the counties of Dillon and Horry in South Carolina.

Under this declaration, SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program is available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, nurseries, and PNPs that suffered financial losses directly related to the disaster. The SBA is unable to provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers, except for small aquaculture enterprises.

EIDLs are available for working capital needs caused by the disaster and are available even if the business or PNP did not suffer any physical damage. The loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.

The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates as low as 4% for small businesses and 3.25% for PNPs, with terms up to 30 years. Interest does not accrue, and payments are not due, until 12 months from the date of the first loan disbursement. The SBA sets loan amount terms based on each applicant’s financial condition

Double L Farms Meats joins Lumberton Chamber

Double L Farms Meats has joined the Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce.  Brian and Lisa Locklear are the owners.  The couple purchased a 43-acre farm on Pine Log Road in 2017 because they had a vision to raise their own beef and pork and sell high quality farm fresh meat.  In June 2023 their vision was realized and Double L Farms Meats opened.  The family strives to be stewarts of the land and caretakers of the animals while providing flavorful, fresh meat at an affordable price.  They take pride that their animals are not given added hormones or antibiotics.   The business is located at 5047 Pine Log Road or give them a call at 910-258-2621.
