Start-ups created after the Hurricanes are also eligible if they can show their creation was the result of a closure of a previous business of same owner(s), after damages caused by the Hurricanes. The Recovery Grants will assist economic recovery across the Island by creating new jobs, retaining current employees, and attending the urgent need for assistance that many small businesses in Puerto Rico have as a result of damages caused by the storms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1702569953063{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_btn title=”Application Status” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Frecuperacion.pr.gov%2Fiframes%2FSBFStatusTrackerCaseLookupIFRM.html” el_class=”programGuiasPT-btn”][vc_btn title=”Submit Documents” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Frecuperacion.pr.gov%2Fiframes%2FSBFForm.html” el_class=”programGuiasPT-btn”][vc_btn title=”Transparency Portal” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Frecuperacion.pr.gov%2Fen%2Ftransparency-portal%2Ftransparency-reports%2Fcdbg-dr%2Feconomy-reports%2Fsbf-dashboard%2F” el_class=”programGuiasPT-btn”][vc_custom_heading text=”GUIDELINES” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1687795212539{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}” el_class=”guiasTitles”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1731092405818{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;}” el_class=”guias-bg”]
