City of Fishers awards $505,000 in loans to Fishers Businesses to Support Start-Up Operations

1

The City of Fishers, through the Build Fishers Foundation, awarded $505,000 in low-interest loans to Fishers small businesses on Friday, May 8.

"Fishers’ small businesses are the lifeblood of our community," said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. "As our city begins to safely re-open, my hope is that these loans will help our small businesses with the much-needed upfront cash required to resume partial operations and eventual re-opening"

The loan committee took into consideration the following as part of the decision-making process. All businesses must employ twenty-five full-time employees or less and one of the following: 

  • Designated as non-essential under Governor Holcomb’s stay-at-home Executive Order
  • Unable to adopt a business model to sustain existing revenue during the COVID-19 Pandemic
  • Essential businesses that had to furlough or lay off 50% or more of their workforce as a result of COVID-19
  • Must be able to demonstrate a direct correlation of their business disruption due to COVID-19 

The committee presented the approved loan recipients during Friday’s Build Fishers Foundation meeting for final approval. Seventy-three loans were approved.

In conjunction with the loan program, businesses in Fishers have access to COVID-19 testing through the Fishers Health Department’s program, re-opening assistance for COVID-19-safety protocols through the Business Recovery Team, and one-on-one consultation for business assistance via the Business Recovery Center.
