The SBA can provide loans to help cover the costs and expenses that your business would have been able to handle if the disaster did not happen. The EIDL amount will depend on how much financial impact you have experienced and your company’s financial needs, even if you didn't suffer any property damage. A separate SBA Disaster Assistance program known as business physical disaster loans, https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/disaster-assistance/physical-damage-loans#business-physical-disaster, covers property damage.
