April 30, 2021 - The Small Business Administration has announced that the Restaurant Revitalization Fund will open for registration by qualifying restaurants on April 30 at 9 am EST, with these same restaurants able to submit applications beginning May 3 at noon EST.
The initial 21 days of the program will see priority granted to small businesses owned by women, veterans, and individuals disadvantaged socially and/or economically; followed by funding for all eligible applications on the basis of first-come, first-serve.
The agency is recommending that all eligible entities submit applications as soon as the portal opens through either a third party, point of sale vendor recognized by the SBA, or through the SBA itself. To verify eligibility and see a sample application, you can visit the following resources:
