Resources For Our Business Community

The West Alameda Business Association is here to support our business community during these difficult times.  We are working closely with city leaders and our Economic Development Department to identify resources that are available to help mitigate the economic damage to our community.

Our Facebook page is updated frequently with tools and resources and we have just launched a Covid-19 response page on our website which will also be updated periodically.

We will also be hosting an online member forum with Matt Ching from Beacon Business Bank on Friday, March 28th at 1 PM.  We'll be covering questions about the SBA Disaster Loan program, alternative funding ideas, and marketing suggestions.  We want to hear from our business members what questions you have so we can be sure to answer them during our online event.  We encourage you to submit your questions and register in advance through this form.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance, support, or if you have a message you want to get out to the business community.
