SBA Restaurant Revitalization Fund Resources
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is awarding funding through the Restaurant
Revitalization Fund (RRF) to restaurants, bars, and other similar places of business that serve food
or drink. The purpose of this funding is to provide support to eligible entities that suffered
revenue losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Revel created this web page to provide resources to help Revel clients easily submit an application for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund.
The registration process starts on Friday, April 30 at 9:00am EDT and you can officially submit
starting at Monday, May 3rd at noon EDT. The earlier an application is approved the better
chance it has to receive funding (first come first served!), so please try and apply as soon as
possible - ideally Monday.
Please note that while Revel is pleased to provide assistance to our clients with respect to the
registration process, Revel is not providing legal or business advice regarding the registration
process nor is it in any way representing or guaranteeing that any client will receive funding.
Clients should carefully review all SBA requirements to ensure that they have correctly completed
the application process.
If you have any additional questions, SBA’s website is the best source of information.
