## Can You Get Two EIDL Loans for One Business?
**Yes**, you can get two EIDL loans for one business. The Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program is a loan program that provides financial assistance to small businesses and non-profit organizations that have been affected by a declared disaster. The EIDL program is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
**The EIDL program offers two types of loans:**
* **EIDL Loans:** These loans are available to businesses that have suffered economic injury as a result of a declared disaster. EIDL loans can be used to cover a wide range of expenses, including payroll, rent, utilities, and inventory.
* **EIDL Advance:** These loans are available to businesses that have suffered severe economic injury as a result of a declared disaster. EIDL advances are not required to be repaid.
**Businesses that have already received an EIDL loan may be eligible for a second EIDL loan.** The second EIDL loan is known as the Targeted EIDL Advance. The Targeted EIDL Advance is available to businesses that have suffered a 50% or more reduction in revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
**To be eligible for a Targeted EIDL Advance, businesses must also meet the following criteria:**
* Be a small business or non-profit organization
* Have fewer than 500 employees
* Have a physical location in the United States
* Have been in operation for at least one year
* Have suffered a 50% or more reduction in revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
**The amount of the Targeted EIDL Advance is based on the business’s average monthly revenue for the year prior to the pandemic.** The maximum amount of the Targeted EIDL Advance is $10,000.
**To apply for a Targeted EIDL Advance, businesses must complete an application through the SBA’s website.** The application process is similar to the application process for the EIDL loan.
**Businesses that have already received an EIDL loan can apply for a Targeted EIDL Advance by logging into their SBA disaster loan portal account.**
## How to Apply for Two EIDL Loans
**To apply for two EIDL loans, you will need to complete two separate applications.** The first application will be for the EIDL loan. The second application will be for the Targeted EIDL Advance.

**When you apply for the EIDL loan, you will need to provide the following information:**
