Has the coronavirus impacted your small business? The state wants to hear from you.

We know these are anxious times for business owners — especially for startups and small businesses.

We wanted to share this information from the Kansas Department of Commerce.

The Department of Commerce is working closely with the Kansas Department of Emergency Management (KDEM) to complete the required steps for requesting a Small Business Administration (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loan Declaration.  As part of this process, KDEM needs to obtain information from small businesses that have suffered substantial economic injury as a result of the COVID-19 disaster.

STEP 1

Businesses affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) disaster should complete the Estimated Disaster Economic Injury Worksheet for Businesses form in its entirety.

Download the Estimated Disaster Economic Injury Worksheet here.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) disaster incident period began 1/31/2020 and is ongoing. This means that businesses may look at losses beginning 1/31/2020.

STEP 2

Save your form using the following naming convention: County 2-letter abbreviation.companyname.date.

Example: ABC Manufacturing located in Wyandotte County submitting the form on March 17 would save the document as WY.abcmanufacturing.17Mar2020

STEP 3

Email a copy of your completed form to amy.selm@ks.gov at the Department of Commerce. You will receive a confirmation email that the form has been received and forwarded to KDEM.
