Eligibility -Substantial economic injury means the business is unable to meet its financial obligations and pay its regular and necessary operating expenses -Loss of expected profits or a decline in sales is not considered substantial economic injury -EIDL provides the necessary working capital to help small businesses impacted by a disaster survive until normal operations resume -EIDL assistance is available only to small businesses when the SBA determines they are unable to obtain credit elsewhere -Businesses must meet the following criteria to qualify for economic injury: The business was directly impacted by the disaster, the business cannot cover expenses due to the disaster and/or debt payments, the business was physically located in the declared disaster area. 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. A business may qualify for both an EIDL and a physical disaster loan. The maximum combined loan amount is $2 million.

(Hawaii Baptist Academy Preschool at GracePoint) Hawaii Baptist Academy (HBA) at GracePoint allows the children to grow at their own individual rates of development. We provide a variety of hands-on experiences to help children not only develop their basic concepts, but to also develop a positive sense of self concept, self-confidence and self-esteem. By building sound social and emotional skills the children are better able to become successful in their academic growth. The program is based on sound principles of child development and early childhood education. At HBA Preschool at GracePoint, we believe that the children learn best by doing. Learning requires active thinking, experimenting and firsthand experience to find out how things work and to learn about the world. At school we focus on the process rather than the product in the work that the young learners render. We see play and hands-on experiences as the foundation for academic or “school” learning. We believe in developing the whole child.
