Update for Existing Capital Access Group Clients
Dear Capital Access Group Clients,
We understand the challenges small businesses are facing due to COVID-19 pandemic. If you are an existing Capital Access Group client, we want you to know that supporting your business during this unprecedented time is our top priority.
We have designed a deferral program for existing clients whose businesses are being impacted by COVID-19. The program provides reduced or no loan payments for up to six months, the maximum deferral allowed by the SBA, to help get your business through these difficult times. The amount deferred will be repaid over a 5 to 10 year period. It could be that following the deferral period, you resume making payments at the regular amount for six (6) months and then go into a higher catch-up amount for 4.5 years. Please keep in mind that interest continues to accrue over the deferral period.
To apply:
Please send the following to servicing@capitalaccess.com, or contact us if you would like us to send a secure filesharing link:
