<p>Small Business Inc. employs about 60 million people, accounts for 70 percent of new jobs each year, and clearly represents the backbone of almost every regional and local economy. For this vital industry, the administration has allocated less than 1 percent ($700 million earmarked vs. $1 trillion in proposals). The nation’s leaders continue the small business program of the Bush years: talk a lot and do practically nothing.”</p>
<p>We at Financing.org are not waiting around for the government stimulus and have a business financing program that is available today.<span> </span>If you are a start up or looking for short-term working capital needs, we can get you $25k to $100k or more in less than 45 days. <span> </span>We are SBA certified and when the SBA does reopen their wallets we can position your business to be better able to compete for this limited government backed funding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.financing.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/credit-card-machine.jpg" alt="business credit card processing" align="left" /><strong>Banks have all but stopped lending, so entrepreneurs are turning to nontraditional sources of funding to keep their businesses running. </strong></p>
<p>Unable to get <a href="http://www.bankloan.net">bank loans and credit lines</a>, small business owners are turning to other sources for the cash they need to run their businesses.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.financing.org">Bank financing</a> is harder to come by than ever: The number of small businesses using bank loans is at a 15-year low, according to the National Small Business Association. The SBA&#8217;s flagship loan program, which offers banks guarantees on loans they make to qualifying small companies, backed 30% fewer loans in 2008 than it did in 2007.</p>
<p>“With SBA and other banks down dramatically, the past six months have seen both small and medium sized companies turning to credit based lending in record numbers for their business funding needs” said Howard Witkin, CEO of <a href="http://www.financing.org">Financing.org.</a> <a href="http://www.financing.org">Business funding</a> is still available and credit based is the way to go if a business is looking to expand or just keep their doors open.” he added.</p>
