I really hate the thought of the SBA losing funds that have been so helpful to businesses throughout our nation. I know that if I had not been a recipient of SBA backing, I could not have been in business for myself. Having start up funds is not easily saved or on hand. With the economy in the condition that it’s in this day and time, consumers are very conscious of saving through sales and coupons with any retail market. Every city that you pass through shows signs of closed businesses that might have survived with an SBA backed loan. Our nation’s recovery is progressing too slowly and each business is dependent on reducing its monthly debt through refinancing to survive. I ask at this time to keep funds available and not cut the SBA budget which will only reduce our number of small businesses. As a combined number, our percent is still greater than the large corporations. We have always made our nation thrive and can only continue with this much needed funding.
Thanks Ron we all sure hope that congress realizes how vital the SBA overall and especially the programs it created such as our SBDC network and SCORE are to keeping small businesses moving. In fact in Arkansas the ASBTDC network actually makes congress money. For every $1 we received from the Feds in funding our clients pay over $3.5 in federal taxes. Not many other federal programs can boast a positive ROI like that. Soon thatNew York Times blog there have been over 335 comments overwhelming positive for us
