8. Town Of Morehead City Emergency Management Act Small Business Loan Program Eligibility Critieria Adopted April 7, 2020
   SUMMARY: This loan program provides emergency, short-term loans to small businesses located within the City limits of Morehead City for the purpose of paying up to two months' lease/rent or mortgage/interest payments of the business in order to secure the physical business location from eviction or foreclosure during this state of emergency. Loans to eligible small businesses are equivalent to the actual monthly rental or mortgage payment of the business, not to exceed the sum of $2,500 per month for up to two months, which would be a maximum total of $5,000 for an individual small business. The rental or mortgage payment loans will be funded by the City in the form of direct payments directly to the landlord or mortgage servicer. The loans will be unsecured, with interest accruing at 6.75% percent per annum with a default rate of 8% per annum, and having repayment terms over 36 months. No payments are due or payable within the first 12 months and there is no prepayment penalty. Loans must be documented by a promissory note in a form reasonably acceptable to the City Attorney. To be eligible for a loan, small businesses must be current on all applicable City taxes.

ELIGIBLE BUSINESSES WILL NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE for future advances if the business is operating as of its application date and thereafter ceases operations or fails to operate to provide goods or services for a minimum of thirty hours per week at its Morehead City location (other than pursuant to governmental order).
