Hurricanes Ian & Nicole

The damage to properties throughout the State of Florida created a great need. Businesses need help with everything from understanding the variations/parameters and steps of insurance claims to needing assistance with deductibles and support to achieve full recovery. The AAEA is partnered with numerous financial institutions and emergency assistance programs with the collaborative goal to make sure that more small and minority-owned businesses make it "Back to Open!"

“Thank you AAEA! Joining this organization was one of the best business decisions I could have made. Opening a business is not easy and having great resources is a critical key to surviving. The AAEA and its staff have been a wealth of knowledge and I am truly

grateful. To top it off, I was approved in lightning speed for the PPP loan, something that will be a great help to my business during this pandemic. If you haven’t already, JOIN!
