Help with IRD Small Business Loan Application
One-off government loans are available for businesses impacted by Covid-19. You can apply for them now online using your MYIR login.
To be eligible for the loan you need to:
- have applied for and received the Wage Subsidy grant.
- go through a process to ensure that the business is viable, for example completing a forecast.
- Have fewer than 50 employees.
Loan terms and amounts:
- $10,000 to be provided to eligible businesses
- an additional $1800 per full-time employee equivalent
- interest free if the loans are paid back within a year
- an interest rate of 3% for a maximum term of five years
- repayments not required for the first two years.
We had hoped to be able to apply for the loans on behalf of clients, but we've been informed that clients need to apply for it themselves. To help you with the process we have put together an instruction video to which walks you through the application process.
