COVID-19 STATEMENT

During this confusing time, we wanted to let you know that Bittle Armstrong Insurance is OPEN for business.

Why are we still open for business? The nature of our work allows us to conduct business via email and phone. In fact, most of the time we can help clients get new policies or renew existing policies without a face-to-face meeting. We encourage customers to call us at 479-443-0808 or email their agent directly for service.

* Please be aware, to keep all parties safe, our lobby is currently closed to customers and reps in order to maintain social distancing.

* If you currently drop off payments, please use the lockbox which is located outside our entrance. We will regularly wipe down the drop box for your safety.

And, most importantly, if you or a loved one does not have adequate health or life insurance, today would be a good day with speak with an independent insurance agent at Bittle Armstrong Insurance. We would love to work with you, and we can do so in a safe manner.

A Message from the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce:

The Small Business Administration (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loan program has been made available to eligible businesses and private non-profits that were impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Any such Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance declaration issued by the SBA makes loans available to small businesses and private non-profit organizations. SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance will coordinate with the State to submit the request for Economic Injury Disaster Loan Assistance. These working capital loans of up to $2 million can be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact. The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses without credit available elsewhere; businesses with credit available elsewhere are not eligible. The interest rate for non-profits is 2.75%. SBA offers loans with long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to a maximum of 30 years. The established incident start date is January 31, 2020.
