Manchester Small Business Recovery Loan Program

The Manchester Small Business Recovery Loan Program is a proactive tool to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and support local businesses. The program is intended to complement existing federal emergency loan programs businesses are using while closed by providing easy-to-access working capital in advance of reopening. The program is a partnership between the City of Manchester and the Manchester Development Corporation.

Small businesses of 50 employees or less with a brick and mortar location in the City of Manchester and were directly impacted by the mandatory business closure order. Priority will be given to those small businesses that generally rely on serving customers in-person (i.e. dining, retail, hospitality, entertainment).
