did you know that you are required to have hazard insurance with SBA EIDL loan?

EIDL Loan Eligibility

According to the SBA, “Small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, and most private nonprofit organizations located in a declared disaster area and which have suffered substantial economic injury may be eligible for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL).”

To be eligible to receive an EIDL loan, you must:

  • Show substantial economic injury, meaning your business cannot meet obligations to pay necessary operating expenses.
  • The loan will cover working capital to help your business survive until normal operations resume.
  • This loan is only available to small businesses when SBA determines they cannot obtain credit elsewhere.

COVID-19 EIDL Loan Requirements

During COVID, EIDL loans were extended to small businesses recovering from the COVID-19 disaster’s economic impact. Though the timeline to apply for a COVID EIDL loan has passed, these loans are still being audited. Proof of hazard insurance is required for collateralized loans of over $25,000.

At Competitive Edge, we recommend working with a specialist– who is familiar with the SBA’s hazard insurance requirements– to ensure your insurance complies with the loan requirements.

Hazard insurance requirements

  • Declarations Page

    Submit the Declarations Page from a current Hazard Insurance policy reflecting some coverage of business contents, business property, or business personal property in case of damage or loss.
    • Note: ask your insurance agent to specify Business Personal Property (BPP) instead of Personal Property, even on a Business Owner’s Policy. Coverage limits must be listed.

  • Named Insured

    Ensure that your business’ legal name and address are listed on the policy under “Named Insured.” The business name and address must exactly match what is listed in your Loan Agreement.

  • Business Property

    Liability Insurance generally does not meet the SBA’s Hazard Insurance requirements, unless specific coverage for business property or BPP is added to the policy.

  • Auto Insurance does not meet the SBA’s Hazard Insurance requirements
