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.”

President Barack Obama will require banks to boost lending to consumers and companies in return for taxpayer aid from the $700 billion bailout fund, in a departure from Bush administration policy, a key lawmaker said.

“You’re going to see the Obama administration,” learning lessons from the first phase of the program, “push for much more lending,” House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, who helped write the financial-rescue law, said yesterday on ABC television’s This Week program. “There are going to be some real rules in there.”

Here at Financing.org we believe that this is a clear message from the new administration to the banks as well as business that action on a grand scale is needed to restart the US economy and one of the key components is to have much of the remaining TARP funds earmarked for business in the form of credit lines and loans. Whether you have an existing business or a startup, now is the moment to move your business financing forward.

The Fed said Tuesday that the programs, originally slated to last through Jan. 30, will be extended through April 30. The Fed said it was taking the action “in light of continuing strains in financial markets.”
The Federal Reserve has gone to extreme lengths to free up credit markets that have impacted the US economy. One direct result of this action has been that in the past 30 days banks and other lending institutions have increased credit based lending to small businesses.
“It is clear that policy makers are taking steps to help small business get access to credit based funding and are focused on this segment of the economy.” Said CEO of Financing.org, Howard Witkin “We have been dealing with this problem for the past 12 months, but credit based funding is still available for both startups and established business, and the government is dedicated to see that Main Street is not left behind”, he added.

The Federal Reserve’s new $800 billion effort to combat the financial crisis is designed to make credit more accessible to shaken consumers who aren’t sure they want more debt.

Households and lenders may not respond much because of the wealth destruction from plunging property and stock values, and the deepening economic slump, economists say. That means banks may end up returning the Fed’s new liquidity through deposits at the central bank.

“We are sort of spitting in the wind,” said Michael Darda, chief economist at MKM Partners LP in Greenwich, Connecticut. “Banks won’t be throwing a lot of loans out there when they fear — rationally — those loans may not be paid back.”

Policy makers are hoping that by injecting liquidity into the market in the form of direct equity investments in banks, and easy loans to lenders, that they will open up the business credit market and consumer credit market. There is general agreement that a generally liquid capital market gives businesses and entrepreneurs the mobility and leverage that they need to create wealth. In a constricted market, more and more businesses become paralyzed, transactions never occur and wealth evaporates. Unfortunately, today Fear rides supreme over Greed, and even easy money isn’t enough to convince most banks to put their capital at risk.
