2.1: Loans

Encourage the Small Business Administration (SBA) and private financial institutions to make loans to entrepreneurs.

Other Information:

First, we should encourage the Small Business Administration (SBA) and private financial institutions to make loans to entrepreneurs. Gaining access to capital is one of the hardest parts of launching new businesses. Startups report that in many cases this is the most difficult hurdle. It is a challenge to find funds for new ventures or to locate financial resources for business expansion. Making sure that the SBA has sufficient funding to support small business should be a top priority for economic expansion.
