Financially times are a challenge for many people, and for those Servicemembers who are mobilized there can be a definite challenge when they have to head off for their service commitment. You are perhaps the center of your business, and without you your business may be strapped to continue without support of some kind. There is one program that in particular can be helpful for small businesses and small business owners. This program is a loan program designed to provide funds for business expenses that are necessary. It did not designed to provide income or profits that will be lost due to deployment.
It is MREIDL, or the Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program. It is a program that provides funds for businesses that are financially affected by the deployment of a military Servicemember. When the Servicemember is called to active duty the period to apply for a MREIDL loan begins. Small Businesses and small business owners are sometimes hit hard when Servicemembers that are vital to their day-to-day operations are mobilized for military service. This program is available to help out with financial shortfalls due to an employee that is essential to the business being activated and called up to TAD or active duty. The MREIDL loan program was created by Congress to provide a method for small business and small business owners to continue their businesses and stop the failure of small businesses due to deployment. This is the time when application for the loan program can begin. The period to apply lasts from the first day of Active Duty to a period ending ninety days after the Servicemember is released from active duty. The Loan program is ran by the Small Business Administration, and the loans are intended to support other sources of credit. Sometimes it is the small business that is hit the hardest by the deployment of reservist Servicemembers, and because of this Congress set up a program to help out financially and help ease some of the burden.
