In response to businesses facing decreased revenues and possible closures following coronavirus restrictions, the City of Manhattan Beach has created a $250,000 fund to assist local small businesses by offering loans up to $10,000. The loan program will begin accepting applications on January 27, 2021, on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds are exhausted.

To be eligible for the loan, the business must:

• Be considered a “Local Small Business” as a “business” (defined in Section 6.01.010 of the Municipal Code);
• Hold a current City business license,
• Has yearly gross revenue of $3.0 million or less; and
• Maintain a “brick and mortar” location physically located within the City of Manhattan Beach. Businesses that are considered “home occupations” are not eligible for this loan.
