The money for the new effort will come from the Main Street Recovery Fund.

The new program will offer loans of up to $50,000 to small business owners with 10 or fewer employees and an annual revenue of less than $1.5 million. The terms of the loan are designed to be attractive to small business owners with standard 10-year terms and interest rates of 2%.
