Securing Capital
What about help for women and minorities?
The Small Business Administration also has programs that help small business development centers counsel minority and women borrowers on how to develop viable loan application packages. If the SBA approves a package, it will guarantee up to 80% of loans of up to $250,000.
The SBA also licenses Specialized Small Business Investment Companies to make loans to socially or economically disadvantaged individuals. A number of private loan programs also encourage business development by minorities, women, and people with disabilities.
