ATLANTA –
  
  The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and most private nonprofit organizations in
  
   South Carolina
  
  of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for economic injury caused by severe storms and flooding on Aug. 30-31, 2015
  
   .
  
  “Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the
  
   June 10
  
  deadline,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.
  Low-interest disaster loans are available in the counties of Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester and Georgetown in
  
   South Carolina
  
  .
Working capital disaster loans up to $2 million are available at 4 percent for small businesses, and 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years. The loans are intended to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other expenses that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. To be considered for this assistance, eligible entities need to apply by the deadline.
Applicants may be eligible for a loan amount increase up to 20 percent of their physical damages, as verified by the SBA for mitigation purposes. Eligible mitigation improvements may now include a safe room or storm shelter to help protect property and occupants from future damage caused by a similar disaster.
  Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at
