Thank you for your interest in the Southern Opportunity and Resilience (SOAR) Fund. This program has closed and is no longer accepting applications.

If you are a small business owner looking for a loan, you can fill out the pre-application form to receive support from one of our participating small business lenders. Once your pre-application is reviewed, the lender will determine if you are eligible for their financing products and/or small business assistance. If you are eligible, the lender will contact you directly.

Thank you to all our community partners for making this program possible!
