Flood Recovery Loan

Flood Recovery Loan

We know many businesses and organizations in Eastern Kentucky are looking for better financing options to get through the flood recovery process.


That’s where the Mountain Association can come in.
We have a new loan option for eligible businesses & organizations impacted by the flooding:
  • Loan Amounts: $1,000 to $100,000+
  • Interest Rate: 0% for the first 12 months and then 3.75% if directly impacted; 0% the first six months and then 3.75% if indirectly impacted by flooding
  • Minimal principal payments of $1 per $1,000 (For example, if the loan is for $10,000, principal payment for the 0% interest period will be $10)
  • Term: Fixed rate up to 10 years
  • Collateral options are flexible
  • No origination fees and no prepayment penalties

Directly impacted means the physical location of the business was damaged or destroyed.

Indirectly impacted means the effects of the flooding prevented normal business operations or sales were reduced due to flood impacts on the community. For example, if the water was off and a restaurant had to close as a result; if the business owner sustained damage of their residence that reduced time available for business activities; if sales were down due to flood-related impacts at the community level, such as restaurant sales being down due to availability of free food at relief stations, etc.

If the loan is under $50,000, decisions will be made within 10 business days once we have all the information we need.

The Mountain Association is a nonprofit lender. This means we can offer flexibility and lend to those who may not otherwise qualify. We offer flexible payments, along with a variety of free services like support from a business consultant and energy experts to evaluate possibilities for lowering your utility bills.

To apply, please visit https://mtassociation.org/loan-inquiry/

A staff member will contact you to discuss next steps.


If you’re not sure this loan or adding debt is right for you, or have questions, please get in touch. We will help you find a financial solution that fits.
Contact Robert Allen at robert@mtassociation.org or (859) 302-8539 with any questions.
