The City of Goleta has collaborated with Women’s Economic Ventures (WEV) to provide a loan program specifically for Goleta-based small businesses. Goleta ReStart Loans up to $25,000 are available to help Goleta-based businesses reopen and adapt to operating under proper public health guidelines due to COVID-19. 

Goleta ReStart Loans from WEV will provide capital to Goleta-based businesses who are now open or eligible to open under the most current government orders (subject to change based on updated orders) related to COVID-19. 

“Business owners consistently say community support is a key factor in sustaining their resolve through the pandemic,” shared WEV CEO Kathy Odell.  “Our ReStart Loans will provide the capital necessary to retain employees, modify business practices and acquire new equipment and/or supplies required for safe re-opening.  Additionally, ReStart Loan recipients are eligible to receive business advisory services from WEV.”
