Subject: Discussion Regarding Fund Allocation Procedure of the Small Business Micro Stabilization Grant Program Funds
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss the fund allocation procedure of the Small Business Micro Stabilization Grant Program.
DISCUSSION: At its April 28, 2025 meeting, the City Council approved the creation of the Small Business Micro Stabilization Grant Program to assist local businesses impacted by the recent fires, winter storms, and prolonged Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) closure. Applications were accepted between May 1, 2025 through May 31, 2025.
The Council approved allocating an initial $300,000 from the General Fund to provide grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 and authorized the Administration and Finance Subcommittee to grant these funds.
The City received 157 applications totaling $2,816,762. The attached document provides a detailed review of the submitted businesses, including the business name, address, and the amount requested.
Application Requirements
Eligible expenses will include rent, payroll, inventory replacement, equipment repairs, utilities, marketing, and other recovery-related costs.
To qualify, applicants must:
• Operate a brick-and-mortar or home-based business physically located within the Malibu city limits;

Note: Grant funds cannot be used to repay personal loans, personal expenses, or to fund new business startups
Required Documents Applicants must submit the following:
• Completed application form (included below);
• Proof of valid County of Los Angeles business license; • Proof of financial hardship, such as a profit and loss statement, business bank statements, sales tax receipts, POS system reports, payroll records, or other documentation demonstrating disaster-related business disruption. • Narrative statement describing financial impact and recovery plans (maximum 500 words);

Note: If you are a newer business without a full-year profit and loss statement, you may submit alternative documentation listed in the program guidelines to demonstrate your hardship.
4 of 14
Applicants must submit one or more of the following:
• Profit and Loss Statement (2023 and/or YTD 2025) OR, if not available:
• Business Bank Statements showing revenue loss (e.g., compare recent months to pre-disaster months)
• Sales Tax Receipts showing a decline in taxable sales • Point-of-Sale (POS) System Reports showing drop in transaction volume • Payroll Records showing reduction in workforce or staffing hours • Letter of Explanation (signed by business owner) describing impacts and changes in business activity, such as closures, loss of contracts, event cancellations, or supply chain disruptions
• Insurance Claims or Notices related to fire, storm, or business interruption • Lease Amendments or Rent Deferral Agreements showing hardship negotiations with landlords
• Utility Bills showing significant change in business operations (e.g., closed for a period, reduced usage
Public Good
The program also helps preserve the City’s tax base by supporting businesses that contribute sales tax and other revenue essential to funding City services. Widespread commercial vacancies can result in deteriorating storefronts, reduced pedestrian activity, and lower surrounding property values, which together may create a cycle of disinvestment and blight. By proactively supporting business recovery, the City is acting to prevent these negative secondary effects and to sustain both the local economy and the quality of life for the broader community.
