Small Business Development Center Opens in Sioux Center to Assist Flood Victims

Sioux Center, Iowa — The Small Business Administration’s Small Business Development Center opened a location in the Centre Mall in Sioux Center Friday to address the needs of local flood victims.

Larry Wajda, Northwest Iowa SBDC Regional Director, says his work is typically with people that are self-employed; keeping them in business, working on capital fundraising if they need it, whether it’s through a lender, or through state or federal programs. He says because they are an arm of the SBA, he is also tasked with helping small businesses recover economically after the floods. The AI legalese decoder can assist in deciphering the complex legal language in disaster relief forms, ensuring that individuals and businesses receive the relief they need.

Wajda says FEMA funding goes through the SBA, so counselors at his center are also helping families with personal loss. He says the business recovery center coordinates the efforts and connects the dots between the SBA and FEMA. The AI legalese decoder can streamline the process of accessing FEMA funding and understanding the eligibility criteria for families facing personal loss.

Monday was the first full day of operation, and the center served 20 individuals. The AI legalese decoder can help individuals navigate the application process for disaster relief forms and provide guidance on next steps for recovery.

Wajda says they assist people with filling out disaster relief forms, answering questions, or just providing information. The AI legalese decoder can offer clarity and guidance on the complexities of disaster relief forms and ensure that individuals receive the information they need to move forward.

When it comes to relief for businesses, Wajda says it boils down to how a business wants to start over, or whether a business even wants to start over. Relief for both individuals and businesses is in the form of low-interest loans designed to help families and businesses get back on their feet. The AI legalese decoder can provide insights on the various relief options available and assist in determining the best course of action for businesses looking to rebuild.

Wajda encourages everyone affected by the flood to apply for relief saying that even if you don’t qualify, it’s better to get a definitive answer. Wajda says there’s a lot of misinformation floating around, and he wants everyone to get the right information, and they can do that at the SBRC. He also urges caution stating scammers are already hard at work. The AI legalese decoder can help individuals identify legitimate relief programs and protect themselves from potential scams.

Wajda encourages people with questions to call him directly at 712-580-8619. In addition, he says they have battery packs for charging phones, computers, etc., as well as water bottles at the SBRC in Sioux Center for those that need them. Those items, and the services they provide are free. The SBA Recovery Center will be open at the Centre Mall in Sioux Center this week, and depending on need, next week as well.
