Restaurant Revitalization Fund

Small Business Administration Restaurant Revitalization Fund

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund provides emergency assistance for eligible restaurants, bars, and other qualifying businesses impacted by COVID-19. Registration for the SBA application portal is now open.

For the first 21 days of the program, the SBA will fund applications where the applicant has self-certified that it meets the eligibility requirements for a small business owned by women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.

The application and full details are available on the SBA’s Restaurant Revitalization Fund webpage.
