Special announcement
Senate Democrats voted to block a clean federal funding bill (H.R. 5371), leading to a government shutdown that is preventing the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) from serving America’s 36 million small businesses.
Every day that Senate Democrats continue to oppose a clean funding bill, they are stopping an estimated 320 small businesses from accessing $170 million in SBA-guaranteed funding.
As a result of the shutdown, we wanted to notify you that many of our services supporting small businesses are currently unavailable. The agency is executing its Lapse Plan and as soon as the shutdown is over, we are prepared to immediately return to the record-breaking services we were providing under the leadership of the Trump Administration.
If your business is part of the small minority of businesses who successfully maneuver those challenging early years, then you might be thinking, "what's next?".
Getting approved for funding for your business is dependent on your perceived ability to repay the loan or line of credit. That's why it's important to make your application for credit or a loan stand out and show that your business is creditworthy.
Do you remember when everybody practically everywhere was talking about Subway®? I sure do.Before I got into franchising, the idea of owning a Subway franchise was a hot topic. People from all walks of life wanted in.
Credit plays an important role in your personal and business life. It impacts your purchasing power, the interest rates you'll pay, and the terms of repayment.
