The Small Business Administration could be your answer to obtaining a loan from the government’s Recovery Act or better known as the stimulus package.

President Barack Obama signed on March 26, 2010, legislation that extends the US Small Business Administration’s ability to provide enhancements in its two largest small business loan programs.

The enhancements include a higher guarantee on some SBA-backed loans and reduced loan fees.

There are funds available to help small businesses.  Assistance programs have been specifically designed to meet key financing needs, including debt financing, surety bonds and equity financing.

If you are overwhelmed by on line program explanations of potential small business loans, the Chamber has the answer for you.

You will be able to meet face to face with a lender specialist on April 13^th at the Chamber office from 10 -11 AM.  The Chamber and the Better Business Bureau will cosponsor this informative workshop.

Mr. L.D. Ralph, Small Business Administration, will conduct this FREE seminar to explain the new federal laws and the stimulus package.

Call the Chamber for reservations at 845-2741.
