The Alaska Chamber has created a toolkit to help businesses and other qualifying individuals prepare to file for relief loans under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and/or a loan through the Small Business Administration disaster loan program. Our website is maintained on a regular basis with the most current and reliable information for you and your business as you begin to take the necessary steps towards accessing funds to keep employees on the payroll and your doors open during this unprecedented time.
