For the first 21 days that the program is open, the SBA will prioritize funding applications from businesses owned and controlled by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Even if you do not fit in one of these groups, you need to submit your applications as soon as the portal opens. Following the 21 days, all eligible applications will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis.
