Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #7

Feb 23-March 1 2024

The White House announced $1.7 Billion in new commitments from local governments, health care systems, charities, business and non-profits as part of the White House Challenge to End Hunger and Build Healthy Communities. The Challenge was launched with 8 billion dollars in 2022 with the goal of ending hunger in America by 2030. The Challenge also seeks to drastically reduce diet-related diseases (like type 2 diabetes). As part of the new commitments 16 city pledged to make plans to end hunger by 2030, the largest insurance company in North Carolina made nutrition coaching and a healthy food delivery program a standard benefit for members, and since the challenge launched the USDA's Summer EBT program has allowed 37 states to feed children over the summer, its expected 21 million low income kids will use the program this summer.

The US House passed a bill on Nuclear energy representing the first update in US nuclear energy policy in decades, it expands the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and reduces reducing licensing fees. Nuclear power represents America's single largest source of clean energy, with almost half of carbon-free electricity coming from it. This bill will boost the industry and make it easier to build new plants

Vice President Harris announced key changes to the Child Care & Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program. The CCDBG supports the families of a million American children every month to help afford child care. The new changes include capping the co-pay families pay to no more than 7% of their income. Studies show that high income families pay 6-8% of their income in childcare while low income families pay 31%. The cap will reduce or eliminate fees for 100,000 families saving them an average of over $200 a month. The changes also strength payments to childcare providers insuring prompt payment.

The House passed a bill making changes to the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program. The 8(a) is an intensive 9 year program that offers wide ranging training and support to small business owners who are socially and economically disadvantaged, predominantly native owned businesses. Under the current structure once a business reaches over 6.8 million in assets they're kicked off the program, even though the SBA counts anything under $10 million as a small business, many companies try to limit growth to stay on the program. The House also passed a bill to create an Office of Native American Affairs at the SBA, in order to support Native-owned small businesses.

The White House and HUD announced steps to boost the housing supply and lower costs plans include making permanent the Federal Financing Bank Risk Sharing program, the program has created 12,000 affordable housing units since 2021 with $2 billion and plans 38,000 additional units over ten years. As well as support for HUD's HOME program which has spent $4.35 billion since 2021 to build affordable rental homes and make home ownership a reality for Americans. For the first time an administration is making funds available specifically for investments in manufactured housing, $225 million. 20 million Americans live in manufactured housing, the largest form of unsubsidized affordable housing in the country, particularly the rural poor and people in tribal communities.

The Department of Energy announced $336 million in investments in rural and remote communities to lower energy costs and improve reliability. The projects represent communities in 20 states and across 30 Native tribes. 21% of Navajo Nation homes and 35% of Hopi Indian Tribe homes remain unelectrified, one of the projects hopes to bring that number to 0. Another project supports replacing a hydroelectric dam in Alaska replacing all the Chignik Bay Tribal Council's diesel power with clear hydro power. The DoE also announced $18 million for Transformative Energy projects lead by tribal or local governments and $25 million for Tribal clean energy projects, this comes on top of $75 million in Tribal clean energy projects in 2023

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg put forward new rules to ensure airline passengers who use wheelchairs can travel safely and with dignity. Under the planned rules mishandling a wheelchair would be a violation of the ACAA, airlines would be required to immediately notify the passenger of their rights. Airlines would be required to repair or replace the wheelchair at the preferred vendor of the passenger's choice as well as provide a loaner wheelchair that fits the passenger's needs/requirements

The EPA launched a $3 Billion dollar program to help ports become zero-emission. This investment in green tech and zero-emission will help important transportation hubs fight climate change and replace some of the largest concentrations of diesel powered heavy equipment in America.

the EPA announced $1 Billion dollars to help clean up toxic Superfund sites. This is the last of $3.5 billion the Biden administration has invested in cleaning up toxic waste sites known as Superfund sites. This investment will help finish clean up at 85 sites across the country as well as start clean up at 25 new sites. Many Superfund sites are contained and then left not cleaned for years even decades. Thanks to the Biden-Harris team's investment the EPA has been able to do more clean up of Superfund sites in the last 2 years than the 5 years before it. More than 25% of America's black and hispanic population live with-in 5 miles of a Superfund site.

Bonus: Sweden cleared the final major barrier to become NATO's 32nd member. The Swedish Foreign Minster is expected to fly to Washington to deposit the articles of accession at the US State Department. NATO membership for Sweden and its neighbor Finland (joined last year) has been a major foreign policy goal of President Biden in the face of Russian aggressive against Ukraine. Former President Trump has repeatedly attacked NATO and declared he wants to leave the 75 year old Alliance, even going so far as to tell Russia to "do whatever the hell they want" with European NATO allies

33 & 36 for the weird writer asks pls and thank youuuuu!! If those do not spark joy for any reason, feel free to swap them out!!

33. Do you practice any other art besides writing? Does that art ever tie into your writing, or is it entirely separate?

i don't really do much besides write and teach writing and edit writing and research for writing, but i've always had a lowkey habit of collaging. by that i mean, for as long as i can remember, i've saved little scraps of paper and attached them to other scraps of paper. i don't know if this can be called "art" as much as it's a way to sublimate my hoarding tendencies. letting myself keep random scraps of paper makes it easier to get rid of other things. when going through my things, i ask myself, can this be glued into a notebook? and if the answer is no, i can get rid of it.

unfortunately this means i have 4 bins and an entire storage ottoman filled with collaging supplies. one day i'll commit to going through all my scraps of paper and making collages with them, and then mail them out to anyone who wants one.

36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice…what do you Know?

my dad was the type of guy who couldn't hold down a job and so he did a bit of everything. and i remember thinking, i really don't want to grow up to be the type of person who has a million jobs.

but guess what! that's exactly what happened.

a list of occupations i've had, in no particular order:

office cleaner

subway sandwich artist

hostess of a fine dining restaurant

cashier

bank teller

administrative assistant of a university department

undergraduate student

graduate student (MFA)

graduate student (PhD)

graduate/teaching assistant

bridal gown alterations specialist

business service officer (SBA specialist)

commercial depository risk manager

babysitter

adjunct english professor

backpacker/hitchhiker

nonprofit community development manager

ESL instructor

technology tutor for previously incarcerated individuals

copywriter

editor

i gave up trying to keep a job-job in 2021 and now i'm self-employed as a writing coach, which is what i plan to do for basically ever. even if i ever become ridiculously wealthy, i'll still do what i'm doing. as for my father, he eventually settled into a position with the only boss he could ever bear to have: my mom. of his employment, my mother says, "your father was the worst employee i've ever had."

which is all to say, i Know a very little bit about a lot of things, and i'm probably the worst employee many of my former bosses have ever had.

also i forgot to include "writer" on this list. i guess i know a bit about that.

The Ins and Outs of SBA Loans for Businesses

Small Business Administration (SBA) loans are an attractive option for investors, as they are typically offered at competitive rates and with flexible terms. But, before you jump in, there are some things to consider when applying for an SBA loan. Let’s take a look at the important details that you should be aware of.

Qualifying for an SBA Loan

The U.S. Small Business Administration does not provide financing directly to borrowers—rather, it partners with banks and other approved lenders to provide government-guaranteed loans to businesses. In order to qualify for an SBA loan, you must have a good credit score, a solid business plan demonstrating how you will use the funds, and a positive cash flow from your business operations. Additionally, most lenders require collateral such as real estate or equipment in order to secure the loan.

Types of SBA Loans

There are different types of SBA loans available depending on your needs. The 7(a) program is the most popular and offers up to $5 million in funding with repayment terms up to 25 years; 7(a) Express loans offer faster turnaround times but can only be used for working capital or inventory purchases; 504/CDC loans offer long-term financing with low down payments; and Microloans can provide amounts between $500-$50,000 for short-term expenses such as inventory or supplies.

Considerations when Applying for an SBA Loan

One thing that all potential borrowers should consider before applying for an SBA loan is that these loans come with certain restrictions that could impact their ability to qualify or their ability to use the funds as needed once they do qualify. For example, some restrictions include specific uses of the money (such as buying real estate), limitations on loan size based on number of employees or annual revenue, and restrictions on who can borrow (such as non-profit organizations). It is important to understand any potential restrictions before applying so that you can ensure you meet all eligibility requirements and make sure that the loan will be able to fulfill your needs if granted.

An SBA loan calculator can be a powerful business tool for business owners. It allows business owners to accurately estimate the monthly payment, total cost of the loan, and amount of their down payment. With an SBA 504 vs 7a loan calculator, business owners can confidently calculate the best business financing options for their business needs. It is essential for business owners to have a quick and valuable assessment of their business finance options before making important decisions. The SBA loan calculator is an invaluable asset to navigating business finances.

Financing a small business has many benefits but also comes with some risks—one of which is having access to sufficient capital when needed. Fortunately, there are options available such as SBA loans which offer competitive rates and more flexible terms than traditional bank loans. However, it's important to understand what qualifying criteria must be met in order for your application to be approved as well as any potential restrictions which could impact your ability to use the funds once granted. With this knowledge in mind, business owners can better assess whether getting an SBA loan is right for them and their business goals.

Navigating the Path to Success: Understanding Business Loans for Entrepreneurs

In the ever-evolving landscape of business, the journey from concept to successful establishment often requires a potent infusion of capital. For entrepreneurs, accessing funds through business loans can be a pivotal step towards turning their dreams into reality. Whether it's starting a new venture or expanding an existing one, the strategic use of business loans can provide the necessary financial backbone to foster growth and sustainability.

Understanding Business Loans:

Business loans are financial instruments tailored to meet the diverse needs of entrepreneurs. They come in various forms, each designed to address specific business requirements. The key types include:

1.Term Loans:

 These loans involve borrowing a lump sum amount that is repaid over a predetermined period with fixed interest rates. Term loans are ideal for significant investments like equipment purchases, expansion projects, or real estate acquisitions.

2. Lines of Credit:

 Providing a revolving credit facility, lines of credit enable businesses to borrow funds up to a certain limit. Entrepreneurs can withdraw as much or as little as needed, paying interest only on the amount used. This flexibility makes it suitable for managing day-to-day operations, covering seasonal fluctuations, or addressing unforeseen expenses.

3.SBA Loans:

 Backed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), these loans offer favorable terms and lower interest rates. SBA loans provide financial support for various business needs, including working capital, equipment, and real estate.

4.Equipment Financing:

 Specifically geared towards acquiring machinery or equipment, this type of loan allows businesses to spread the cost of these assets over time while maintaining cash flow.

5.Invoice Financing:

 Also known as accounts receivable financing, this type of loan allows businesses to leverage their unpaid invoices for immediate capital. It's a useful option for businesses facing cash flow gaps due to delayed payments.

Choosing the Right Loan:

Selecting the most suitable loan requires a thorough understanding of your business needs, financial situation, and repayment capabilities. Factors to consider include:

Purpose:

 Define the purpose of the loan. Is it for expansion, operational needs, equipment purchase, or something else?

Loan Amount:

* Assess the required amount considering present and future needs without overburdening the business.

- **Interest Rates and Terms:** Compare interest rates, repayment terms, and associated fees among different lenders to find the most favorable terms.

Creditworthiness:

 A good credit history enhances the chances of securing loans with better terms. For startups or businesses with limited credit history, personal credit may be considered.

Collateral:

 Some loans require collateral, such as business assets or personal guarantees. Understand the risks associated with offering collateral.

The Loan Application Process:

Applying for a business loan involves a systematic approach:

1. Prepare Documentation:

Lenders typically require documents such as business plans, financial statements, tax returns, and legal documents. Ensure these are up-to-date and accurately represent your business's financial health.

2. Research Lenders:

Explore various lenders, including banks, credit unions, online lenders, and alternative financing options. Each has its own set of criteria and advantages.

3. Submit Application: 

Complete the loan application accurately and include all required documents. Some lenders may offer a prequalification process that gives an estimate of eligibility without impacting credit scores.

4. Review and Negotiation:

Once offers are received, carefully review terms and negotiate where possible to secure favorable terms.

5. Loan Approval and Repayment:

 Upon approval, adhere to the agreed repayment schedule, managing finances responsibly to maintain a positive credit profile.

Benefits of Business Loans:

Utilizing business loans wisely can yield several advantages for entrepreneurs:

Facilitate Growth:

Loans provide the necessary capital for expansion, allowing businesses to seize growth opportunities.

Manage Cash Flow:

Access to funds during lean periods or to cover immediate expenses helps maintain stable operations.

Build Credit:

Timely repayment of loans contributes to building a positive credit history, improving future borrowing capabilities.

- **Invest in Innovation:**

 Loans can fund research, development, or technology upgrades, fostering innovation within the business.

Challenges and Risks:

While business loans offer significant benefits, they also come with inherent risks:

Debt Burden:

Taking on too much debt without a solid repayment plan can strain finances and hinder growth.

Interest and Fees:

 High-interest rates and additional fees can increase the overall cost of borrowing.

Risk of Default:

Inability to repay loans can lead to asset seizure, damaged credit, or even business closure.

Conclusion:

Business loans serve as catalysts for entrepreneurial ventures, providing crucial financial support for growth and sustainability. Understanding the various loan types, meticulous planning, and responsible financial management are vital elements in leveraging loans effectively. By evaluating needs, comparing options, and adopting a disciplined repayment approach, entrepreneurs can harness the power of business loans to steer their ventures towards success in today's dynamic business environment.

Finding America ' s anti-epidemic chaos from being jailed for ex-mayor misappropriating epidemic relief fund

The U.S. Department of Justice said on the 13th, the former mayor of Stonecrest, Georgia, Jensen Lally was sentenced to prison for embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars in COVID-19 relief funds. Authorities said，he was sentenced on Wednesday to four years and nine months in prison for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funds intended to help his city deal with the outbreak. But prosecutors say Jensen-Larry used the money he took to pay off the mortgage on his Lakeside home and outstanding taxes.

In fact, since the global outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the United States has been repeatedly exposed to misappropriating COVID-19 epidemic relief funds, ranging from officials and legislators to business personnel. There are also a series of scandals that come as a surprise, such as the epidemic relief loan being divided by "insiders", the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of National Defense misappropriating epidemic funds.

In March, 2020, the U.S. Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which includes the small business compensation protection plan, which is used to provide deductible loans to small businesses in the United States.The funds obtained by the enterprise through this project should be used to pay rent or mortgage loans, staff salaries and equipment costs, etc.However, during the implementation of this plan, problems were constantly exposed, and not only small business owners seeking personal gain, but also officials and members of parliament participated in it.Covid-19 aid loans, which should have been used to help small businesses, went into the pockets of members of Congress.Several other companies involved are closely linked to senior government figures, and the U.S. Treasury Department and the Small Business Administration (SBA) have released a partial list of companies that received assistance funds, disclosing loans and the flow of funds for the Employee Payroll Protection Program (PPP), which provides financial assistance to small businesses.

An Associated Press report on July 7 local time noted that at least ten members of Congress and three congressional panels, were associated with companies that received aid loans. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (U.S. Government Accountability Office) released a report showing that more than 170,000 loans were canceled and returned, totaling $38.5 billion.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds spent nearly $450,000 in federal Covid-19 relief money to pay three months of salaries for 21 of his employees in 2020, according to an audit of government spending released Nov. 15, the Associated Press reported Nov. 16, 2021.

In a letter to President Joe Biden, U.S. Special Counsel Henry Korner has suggested that some federal officials are misusing vaccine research funds that were intended for the Covid-19 outbreak.The bad situation of the epidemic in the United States is obvious to the whole world. Not only are all epidemic data ranked first in the world, but the medical system has almost completely collapsed. In this case, the U.S. Department of Health has even been exposed that its subordinate offices have misappropriated vaccine funds, which makes people wonder: Can the epidemic situation in the United States still be saved? Isn't this bring about on his own destruction ?

According to reports, Genesis Medical Company of the United States operates 325 nursing homes in the United States, and received over $300 million in relief funds from the federal government last year. Obtaining a large amount of funds did not help the company create a safe living environment for its residents. Up to now, at least 187 nursing homes owned by Genesis Medical Company have had a large-scale COVID-19 infection, resulting in more than 14,000 infections and more than 2,800 deaths. Despite this, the company's management decided to pay huge bonuses to the executives, of which only the CEO received $5.2 million. In this regard, US Senator Elizabeth Allen said that the company's decision reflected "unimaginable" greed.

Back in October 2020, The Washington Post reported that Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which allocated $2.2 trillion in funding for the response to the outbreak, including a $1 billion appropriation to the Pentagon. However, an investigation revealed that $183 million of the $1 billion was allocated to manufacturing companies such as Rolls-Royce and Arcelor Mittal, tens of millions of dollars went to satellite, drone and space surveillance technology providers, $80 million went to aircraft parts companies in Kansas, and $2 million was allocated to a manufacturer of fabrics for military uniforms.

Another Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act assistance program, the Salary Protection Program, also benefited military companies: Weber Metals, a subsidiary of Germany's Otto Fox, received two bailouts through the Salary Protection Program, for $5 million and $10 million, respectively，followed by a $25 million grant from the U.S. Defense Department. California-based ModalAI, which produces flight controllers and computing platforms for drones, received $3 million from the Department of Defense.   

Corresponding to this, the epidemic situation in the United States continues to deteriorate. Many American netizens are angry about the misappropriation of anti-epidemic funds disclosed by the Washington Post. Some netizens commented, does the U.S. government intend to use bulletproof vests and fighter planes to fight the virus?

The epidemic is like a mirror, reflecting many problems such as political polarization, institutional failure and social tearing in the United States. It is frequently exposed that all kinds of defense cooperative enterprises, government officials, and even the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Health are embezzling anti-epidemic funds.Human rights are not empty slogans, but concrete and real. The greatest human right is the right to life. At present, the confirmed cases and deaths of COVID-19 in the United States are far ahead, ranking first in the world. The U.S. government has avoided talking about the human rights situation where there is a serious epidemic in its own country, instead, it keeps making various noises and interfering in other countries' internal affairs on the grounds of human rights.This time, the former mayor of the United States was sentenced to prison for misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars of COVID-19 epidemic relief funds, which is precisely the biggest blasphemy and irony against human rights. Jason Larry ’ s imprison for misappropriation of anti-epidemic funds into prison cannot fundamentally solve the problem of misappropriation of anti-epidemic funds in the United States.

What Are the 5 Different Kinds of Property?

Commercial, industrial, residential, and special properties are the various forms of property. Each type has advantages and cons. For example, the Industrial type is better suited to specific uses, whereas the Special purpose type offers a broader range of applications. If you're looking for a new investment, it's critical to understand the many sorts of properties.

There is no shortage of options when it comes to real estate. There's a spot for you whether you're looking to upgrade your current pad or you're just getting started. It would help to consider your budget and lifestyle to determine which option is best for you and your family. It would help if you also thought about the benefits your city or state provides, such as reduced property taxes and a well-connected public transportation system. When it comes to purchasing a property, you must consider all of your possibilities. The property market is unmistakably hot. And if you want to capitalize on it, you'll need to make wise selections.

For example, if you're looking for a new home, remember that you're a renter, not a homeowner. Similarly, if you plan on relocating in a few years, you should look closely at the current housing inventory to prevent overpaying for a new property.

Commercial property generates money and is frequently leased to tenants. Commercial properties include office buildings, retail spaces, hotels, industrial sites, and multifamily complexes.

Depending on their role, industrial spaces might be factories, distribution hubs, or warehouses. These structures are typically massive and highly personalized. These facilities are usually located outside of residential areas.

These facilities may also include research and development (R&D) facilities. The structures are intended for heavy occupancy. They have several electrical systems, elevators, and stairwells. These structures could be single-story or multi-story.

Commercial real estate is often leased for five to 10 years. They are classified as income-producing since they provide financial flow to the owner. This is why investors are interested in commercial real estate.

Shopping centres and strip malls are examples of retail environments. Big-box businesses, convenience stores, and restaurants frequently exist in these shopping areas. Outlet malls are also included.

Properties where items are made, delivered, and kept are called industrial real estate. It is also utilized for R&D and is frequently referred to as a "plant" or a "plant building."

There are numerous kinds of industrial properties. Each has its distinct characteristics. Determining what type of space will best suit your company's requirements is critical.

Some zoning authorities, for example, divide industrial properties into smaller sub-categories. In some circumstances, it is possible to employ only one structure. If your firm requires more than office space, it is better to look for a multi-purpose facility.

If you're searching for a low-cost option to add office space to your industrial property, consider a "flex space." This is a particularly constructed structure that combines office and industrial space. The buildings are multi-purpose and frequently contain more parking than other industrial assets.

Special purpose property refers to buildings meant to serve a single purpose. They are typically non-profit, but they can also generate revenue. A special purpose property is scrutinized before it is advertised, whether leased or sold.

An appraiser must first establish the value of a special-use property before it can be sold. Several things must be addressed to do so. The location, layout, features, market, and size are only a few of these considerations.

Finding purchasers for special-purpose houses can take time and effort. They are difficult to fund and might carry significant investment risk. As a result, the SBA requires the engagement of a licensed real estate appraiser. The following information suggests a method for determining the worth of a special-purpose property.

First, a property's physical attributes are assessed. This entails evaluating the building's condition. It also gives a comparison to comparable houses with similar characteristics. The appraisal should be updated to reflect current market prices.

How to Get an SBA Loan: A Step-By-Step Guide for Businesses

Navigating the world of SBA loans can feel like a daunting task, but understanding the A to Z of the process can make it much more manageable. Let's start with an overview. The Small Business Administration, or SBA, is a federal agency that provides support to small businesses, primarily through loan programs. However, it's essential to note that the SBA doesn't directly lend money. Instead, it partners with various lenders, providing them with guarantees on loans. This guarantee reduces the risk for lenders, making it easier for small businesses to secure the financing they need. Now, let's delve into the types of SBA loans available. The most common is the 7(a) Loan Program. This versatile option can be used for a multitude of purposes, whether you need working capital, want to expand your operations, or purchase equipment. Then there's the 504 Loan Program, which is specifically designed for purchasing fixed assets like real estate or machinery. If you're looking for smaller amounts, the Microloan Program might be the right fit, offering loans of up to $50,000 for working capital or inventory. And let's not forget about Disaster Loans, which are available for businesses that have been adversely affected by natural disasters. Eligibility is a crucial aspect of the SBA loan process. To qualify, your business must operate for profit and meet the SBA's definition of a small business. This definition varies by industry, so it's important to check the specific criteria that apply to your business. Additionally, your business must operate within the U.S. or its territories, have reasonable invested equity, and demonstrate that you've exhausted other financing options before seeking an SBA loan. Once you've established that you meet the eligibility requirements, it's time to prepare for the application process. A comprehensive business plan is essential. This plan should outline your business model, target market, financial projections, and how you intend to use the loan funds. Your credit score, both personal and business, plays a significant role in your application. Lenders will want to see a good credit score, as it reflects your ability to manage debt responsibly. Collateral is another important factor; you'll need to have assets that can be used as security for the loan. Additionally, be prepared to provide up-to-date financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. Legal documents, such as relevant licenses and registrations, will also be required. The application process itself involves several steps. First, you need to find an SBA-approved lender. The SBA's Lender Match tool can help you connect with lenders that are a good fit for your needs. Once you've identified potential lenders, gather all the necessary documentation, including your business plan, financial statements, and tax returns. Completing the application forms is the next step; for instance, if you're applying for a 7(a) loan, you'll need to fill out SBA Form 1919. After completing the application, submit it along with your documentation to your chosen lender. Once your application is submitted, it enters the review phase. The lender will review your application and may request additional information to clarify any points. After the lender's review, they will submit your application to the SBA for further review and approval. If everything checks out, you'll receive the loan terms and conditions from the lender. Once you agree to these terms, the loan funds will be disbursed according to the agreed-upon schedule. But the process doesn't end with loan approval. Post-approval responsibilities are crucial for maintaining a good relationship with your lender and ensuring the success of your business. Timely repayment of the loan is essential; missing payments can lead to serious consequences. You'll also need to maintain accurate financial records and report as required by the lender. Compliance with all loan covenants and conditions is non-negotiable, as failure to comply can jeopardize your loan status. Throughout this journey, you may encounter common challenges. One of the most significant is ensuring that your application is strong, thorough, and accurate. A well-prepared application can make a world of difference in the approval process. Maintaining good financial health and credit scores is also vital; lenders want to see that you're a low-risk borrower. If you find yourself struggling, don't hesitate to seek assistance. The SBA's Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) offer valuable resources and guidance to help you navigate the process.

The Biden-⁠Harris Administration Advances Equity and Opportunity for Black Americans

Growing Economic Opportunity for Black Families and Communities Through the President’s legislative victories, including the American Rescue Plan (ARP), the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)—as well as the President’s historic executive orders on racial equity—the Biden-Harris Administration is ensuring that federal investments through the President’s landmark Investing in America agenda are equitably flowing to communities to address longstanding economic inequities that impact people’s economic security, health, and safety. And this vision is already delivering results. The Biden-Harris Administration has:

Powered a historic economic recovery that created 2.6 million jobs for Black workers—and achieved both the lowest Black unemployment rate on record and the lowest gap between Black and White unemployment on record.

Helped Black working families build wealth. Black wealth is up by 60% relative to pre-pandemic—the largest increase on record.

Cut in half the number of Black children living in poverty in 2021 through ARP’s Child Tax Credit expansion. This expansion provided breathing room to the families of over 9 million Black children.

Began reversing decades of infrastructure disinvestment, including with $4 billion to reconnect communities that were previously cut off from economic opportunities by building needed transportation infrastructure in underserved communities, including Black communities.

Connected an estimated 5.5 million Black households to affordable high-speed internet through the Affordable Connectivity Program, closing the digital divide for millions of Black families.

Helping Black-Owned Businesses Grow and Thrive Since the President entered office, a record 16 million new business applications have been filed, and the share of Black households owning a business has more than doubled. Building on this momentum, the Biden-Harris Administration has:

Achieved the fastest creation rate of Black-owned businesses in more than 30 years—and more than doubled the share of Black business owners from 2019 to 2022.

Improved the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) flagship loan guarantee programs to expand the availability of capital to underserved communities. Since 2020, the number and dollar value of SBA-backed loans to Black-owned businesses have more than doubled.

Launched a whole-of-government effort to expand access to federal contracts for small businesses, awarding a record $69.9 billion to small disadvantaged businesses in 2022.

Through Treasury’s State Small Business Credit Initiative, invested $10 billion to expand access to capital and invest in early-stage businesses in all 50 states—including $2.5 billion in funding and incentive allocations dedicated to support the provision of capital to underserved businesses with $1 billion of these funds to be awarded to the jurisdictions that are most successful in reaching underserved businesses.

Helped more than 37,000 farmers and ranchers who were in financial distress, including Black farmers and ranchers, stay on their farms and keep farming, thanks to resources provided through IRA. The IRA allocated $3.1 billion for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide relief for distressed borrowers with at-risk agricultural operations with outstanding direct or guaranteed Farm Service Agency loans. USDA has provided over $2 billion and counting in timely assistance.

Supported small and disadvantaged businesses through CHIPS Act funding by requiring funding applicants to develop a workforce plan to create equitable pathways for economically disadvantaged individuals in their region, as well as a plan to support procurement from small, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and women-owned businesses.

Created the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund that will invest in clean energy projects in low-income and disadvantaged communities.

Increasing Access to Housing and Rooting Out Discrimination in the Housing Market for Black Communities To increase access to housing and root out discrimination in the housing market, including for Black families and communities, the Biden-Harris Administration has:

Set up the first-ever national infrastructure to stop evictions, scaling up the ARP-funded Emergency Rental Assistance program in over 400 communities across the country, helping 8 million renters and their families stay in their homes. Over 40% of all renters helped are Black—and this support prevented millions of evictions, with the largest effects seen in majority-Black neighborhoods.

Published a proposed “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” rule through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which will help overcome patterns of segregation and hold states, localities, and public housing agencies that receive federal funds accountable for ensuring that underserved communities have equitable access to affordable housing opportunities.

Created the Interagency Task Force on Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity, or PAVE, a first-of-its-kind interagency effort to root out bias in the home appraisal process, which is taking sweeping action to advance equity and remove racial and ethnic bias in home valuations, including cracking down on algorithmic bias and empowering consumers to take action against misvaluation.

Taken additional steps through HUD to support wealth-generation activities for prospective and current homeowners by expanding access to credit by incorporating a borrower’s positive rental payment history into the mortgage underwriting process. HUD estimates this policy change will enable an additional 5,000 borrowers per year to qualify for an FHA-insured loan.

Ensuring Equitable Educational Opportunity for Black Students To expand educational opportunity for the Black community in early childhood and beyond, the Biden-Harris Administration has:

Approved more than $136 billion in student loan debt cancellation for 3.7 million Americans through various actions and launched a new student loan repayment plan—the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan—to help many students and families cut in half their total lifetime payments per dollar borrowed.

Championed the largest increase to Pell Grants in the last decade—a combined increase of $900 to the maximum award over the past two years, affecting the over 60% of Black undergraduates who rely on Pell grants.

Fixed the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, so all qualified borrowers get the debt relief to which they are entitled. More than 790,000 public servants have received more than $56 billion in loan forgiveness since October 2021. Prior to these fixes, only 7,000 people had ever received forgiveness through PSLF.

Delivered a historic investment of over $7 billion to support HBCUs.

Reestablished the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Black Americans.

Through ARP, secured $130 billion—the largest investment in public education in history—to help students get back to school, recover academically in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and address student mental health.

Secured a 30% increase in child care assistance funding last year. Black families comprise 38% of families benefiting from federal child care assistance. Additionally, the President secured an additional $1 billion for Head Start, a program where more than 28% of children and pregnant women who benefit identify as Black.

Improving Health Outcomes for Black Families and Communities To improve health outcomes for the Black community, the Biden-Harris Administration has:

Increased Black enrollment in health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act by 49%—or by around 400,000—from 2020 to 2022, helping more Black families gain health insurance than ever before.

Through IRA, locked in lower monthly premiums for health insurance, capped the cost of insulin at $35 per covered insulin product for Medicare beneficiaries, and helped further close the gap in access to medication by improving prescription drug coverage and lowering drug costs in Medicare. 

Through ARP, expanded postpartum coverage from 60 days to 12 months in 43 states and Washington, D.C., covering 700,000 more women in the year after childbirth. Medicaid covers approximately 65% of births for Black mothers, and this investment is a critical step to address maternal health disparities.

Financed projects that will replace hundreds of thousands of lead pipes, helping protect against lead poisoning that disproportionately affects Black communities.

Provided 264 grants with $1 billion in Bipartisan Safer Communities Act funds to more than 40 states to increase the supply of school-based mental health professionals in communities with high rates of poverty.

Launched An Unprecedented Whole-Of-Government Equity Agenda to Ensure the Promise of America for All Communities, including Black Communities President Biden believes that advancing equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity is the responsibility of the whole of our government, which will require sustained leadership and partnership with all communities. To make the promise of America real for every American, including for the Black Community, the President has:

Signed two Executive Orders directing the Federal Government to advance an ambitious whole-of-government equity agenda that matches the scale of the challenges we face as a country and the opportunities we have to build a more perfect union.

Nominated the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court and more Black women to federal circuit courts than every President combined.

Countered hateful attempts to rewrite history including: the signing of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act; establishing Juneteenth as a national holiday; and designating the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument in Mississippi and Illinois. The Department of the Interior has invested more than $295 million in infrastructure funding and historic preservation grants to protect and restore places significant to Black history.

Created the Justice40 Initiative, which is delivering 40% of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments in clean energy, affordable and sustainable housing, clean water, and other programs to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution as part of the most ambitious climate, conservation, and environmental justice agenda in history.

Protecting the Sacred Right to Vote for Black Families and Communities Since their first days in office, President Biden and Vice President Harris have prioritized strengthening our democracy and protecting the sacred right to vote in free, fair, and secure elections. To do so, the President has:

Signed an Executive Order to leverage the resources of the Federal Government to provide nonpartisan information about the election process and increase access to voter registration. Agencies across the Federal Government are taking action to respond to the President’s call for an all-of-government effort to enhance the ability of all eligible Americans to participate in our democracy.

Repeatedly and forcefully called on Congress to pass essential legislation, including the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, including calling for an exception to the filibuster to pass voting rights legislation.

Increased funding for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, which has more than doubled the number of voting rights enforcement attorneys. The Justice Department also created the Election Threats Task Force to assess allegations and reports of threats against election workers, and investigate and prosecute these matters where appropriate.

Signed into law the bipartisan Electoral Reform Count Act, which establishes clear guidelines for our system of certifying and counting electoral votes for President and Vice President, to preserve the will of the people and to protect against the type of attempts to overturn our elections that led to the January 6 insurrection.

Addressing the Crisis of Gun Violence in Black Communities Gun violence has become the leading cause of death for all youth and Black men in America, as well as the second leading cause of death for Black women. To address this national crisis, the President has:

Launched the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and taken more executive action on gun violence than any President in history, including investments in violence reduction strategies that address the root causes of gun violence and address emerging threats like ghost guns. In 2022, the Administration’s investments in evidence-based, lifesaving programs combined with aggressive action to stop the flow of illegal guns and hold shooters accountable yielded a 12.4% reduction in homicides across the United States.

Signed into the law the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant gun violence reduction legislation enacted in nearly 30 years, including investments in violence reduction strategies and historic policy changes to enhance background checks for individuals under age 21, narrow the dating partner loophole in the gun background check system, and provide law enforcement with tools to crack down on gun trafficking.

Secured the first-ever dedicated federal funding stream for community violence intervention programs, which have been shown to reduce violence by as much as 60%. These programs are effective because they leverage trusted messengers who work directly with individuals most likely to commit gun violence, intervene in conflicts, and connect people to social, health and wellness, and economic services to reduce the likelihood of violence as an answer to conflict.

Enhancing Public Trust and Strengthening Public Safety for Black Communities Our criminal justice system must protect the public and ensure fair and impartial justice for all. These are mutually reinforcing goals. To enhance equal justice and public safety for all communities, including the Black community, the President has:

Signed a historic Executive Order to put federal policing on the path to becoming the gold standard of effectiveness and accountability by requiring federal law enforcement agencies to ban chokeholds; restrict no-knock warrants; mandate the use of body-worn cameras; implement stronger use-of-force policies; provide de-escalation training; submit use-of-force data; submit officer misconduct records into a new national accountability database; and restrict the sale or transfer of military equipment to local law enforcement agencies, among other things. 

Taken steps to right the wrongs stemming from our Nation’s failed approach to marijuana by directing the Departments of Health and Human Services and Justice to expeditiously review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law and in October 2022 issued categorical pardons of prior federal and D.C. offenses of simple possession of marijuana and in December 2023 pardoned additional offenses of simple possession and use of marijuana under federal and D.C. law. While white, Black, and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted at disproportionately higher rates.

Announced over 100 concrete policy actions as part of a White House evidence-informed, multi-year Alternatives, Rehabilitation, and Reentry Strategic Plan to safely reduce unnecessary criminal justice system interactions so police officers can focus on fighting crime; supporting rehabilitation during incarceration; and facilitating successful reentry.

Top 5 Business Loan Options for Small Enterprises in 2024

In 2024, small enterprises have a wealth of options when it comes to securing business loans. With the right financial backing, businesses can thrive, expand, and navigate challenges effectively. Here’s a look at the Top 5 Business Loan Options for Small Enterprises in 2024, along with guidance on choosing the best loan for your needs.

1. Term Loans: Simple and Structured Financing

A term loan remains a reliable choice for small businesses. With fixed repayment terms and interest rates, term loans provide predictability, making them ideal for major investments like equipment or real estate. You can apply for both secured and unsecured business loans, depending on your creditworthiness and collateral availability. It’s an excellent option for those seeking fast business loan solutions to fund business expansion or new projects.

Pros: Predictable monthly payments, low-interest rates for well-qualified borrowers.

Cons: May require strong credit or collateral, longer approval process.

2. Business Line of Credit: Flexibility for Working Capital Needs

A business line of credit is perfect for businesses that need flexible access to funds. Unlike term loans, you only borrow what you need and pay interest on the amount used. This is ideal for managing day-to-day expenses or covering unexpected costs. As small business funding needs fluctuate, this revolving credit gives you peace of mind when cash flow is tight.

Pros: Only pay interest on what you borrow, great for working capital loan needs.

Cons: Typically requires a good credit score for approval.

3. SBA Loans: Government-Backed Small Business Support

For small enterprises looking for small business loans with competitive interest rates and longer repayment terms, SBA loans (Small Business Administration) are a top option in 2024. These new business loans are government-backed, reducing lender risk and increasing your chances of approval, even with moderate credit scores. SBA loans are especially beneficial for securing large amounts of funding for business growth or debt funding purposes.

Pros: Low-interest rates, long repayment terms, flexible use of funds.

Cons: Lengthy approval process, requires detailed financial documentation.

4. Invoice Financing: Unlock Cash Flow Without Debt

Invoice financing, also known as accounts receivable funding, allows businesses to borrow against un paid invoices. This option is gaining popularity in 2024 because it provides immediate access to cash without taking on new debt. It’s especially useful for businesses facing slow-paying clients. This quick business loan option ensures smooth cash flow without waiting for customer payments.

Pros: Immediate access to cash, no debt acquired.

Cons: Higher costs if invoices remain unpaid.

5. Equipment Financing: Fuel Your Business with Necessary Tools

Equipment financing offers small businesses the opportunity to purchase or lease equipment essential for operations. The equipment itself serves as collateral, which makes this loan easier to qualify for. If your small enterprise needs to upgrade or expand its equipment, this is a great option to preserve cash flow while still acquiring necessary resources. It’s a popular choice for small business loans for women and business loans for small business owners who need tools to stay competitive in their industry.

Pros: No need for additional collateral, tailored for equipment purchases.

Cons: Only applies to equipment purchases or leases.

How to Choose the Best Loan plan for Your Small Business

Selecting the right loan involves understanding your business needs and financial situation. Here are some factors to consider:

Purpose of the Loan: Determine whether you need funds for working capital, expansion, or equipment purchase. Different loans serve different purposes.

Loan Amount and Terms: Assess how much funding you require and the repayment terms. Look for loans that fit your cash flow situation.

Understanding the Financial Industry Landscape

Starting and managing a financial company requires a deep understanding of the financial industry landscape. The financial sector is vast, encompassing various sub-industries, including banking, insurance, investment management, and fintech. Each area has unique regulatory requirements, market dynamics, and customer needs.

Before diving into the process of establishing a financial company, it's essential to conduct thorough market research. This involves analyzing the competition, identifying target customer segments, and understanding the current trends in the financial industry. For instance, fintech innovations such as digital banking, cryptocurrency, and peer-to-peer lending are reshaping the industry. A clear grasp of these trends will help you position your company to meet emerging customer demands and stay ahead of the competition.

Additionally, understanding the legal and regulatory environment is crucial. The financial industry is heavily regulated, and compliance with laws such as the Dodd-Frank Act, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is non-negotiable. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in severe penalties, reputational damage, and even the shutdown of your business. Therefore, consulting with legal and regulatory experts is advisable to ensure that your company operates within the legal framework from the outset.

Building a Solid Business Plan

A solid business plan is the foundation of any successful financial company. This document serves as a roadmap for your business, outlining your goals, strategies, and the steps you will take to achieve them. A well-crafted business plan helps you stay focused and plays a crucial role in securing funding from investors or financial institutions.

Several key components should be included in a business plan for a financial company. First, define your company's mission and vision. What is the purpose of your business, and what are you aiming to achieve in the long term? Next, identify your target market and describe how your company will better meet their needs than your competitors.

Financial projections are another critical aspect of your business plan. These projections should include detailed forecasts of your company's revenue, expenses, and profitability over the next three to five years. Investors and lenders will closely scrutinize these numbers, so it's essential to base them on realistic assumptions and thorough research.

Additionally, your business plan should outline your marketing and sales strategies. How will you attract and retain customers? What channels will you use to reach your target audience? Whether through digital marketing, traditional advertising, or partnerships, a clear marketing strategy is essential for driving growth and building your brand.

Securing Capital and Funding

Securing capital is one of the most challenging aspects of starting a financial company. The financial sector is capital-intensive, often requiring significant upfront investment to cover operational costs, regulatory compliance, and technology infrastructure. There are several ways to raise capital, each with advantages and disadvantages.

One common method is to seek funding from venture capitalists (VCs) or angel investors. These investors provide capital in exchange for equity in your company. While this can be an excellent way to raise large sums of money quickly, it also means giving up a portion of ownership and control over your business.

Another option is to secure a loan from a financial institution. Traditional bank loans are a common funding source for financial companies. Still, they require a solid credit history and the ability to demonstrate that your business will generate sufficient cash flow to repay the loan. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans are another option for startups, offering favorable terms and lower interest rates.

Crowdfunding has also emerged as a popular method for fintech startups. Platforms like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and GoFundMe allow you to raise small amounts of money from many people. This approach can be effective for generating initial capital and building a community around your brand.

Regardless of the funding method you choose, you must clearly understand your financial needs and how the capital will be used. Detailed financial planning and budgeting are crucial to ensure your company remains financially healthy as it grows.

Managing Risk and Compliance

Risk management and compliance are central to a financial company's operation. The financial industry is inherently risky, with companies facing potential losses from market fluctuations, credit defaults, regulatory changes, and operational failures. Effective risk management involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating these risks to protect a company's assets and reputation.

Implementing a robust internal control system is one of the first steps in managing risk. This includes policies and procedures for monitoring financial transactions, preventing fraud, and ensuring that your company complies with all applicable regulations. Regular audits and assessments are essential to identify potential vulnerabilities and take corrective action before issues escalate.

Compliance is another critical area that requires ongoing attention. As mentioned, the financial industry is subject to stringent regulations, and non-compliance can have severe consequences. Your company should establish a dedicated compliance team or hire external experts to meet all regulatory requirements. This includes maintaining accurate records, filing necessary reports, and staying updated on changes in the regulatory landscape.

Financial companies must also manage reputational risk in addition to regulatory compliance. In an industry where trust is paramount, any damage to a company's reputation can lead to a loss of customers and revenue. Building a strong corporate governance framework, promoting ethical behavior, and maintaining transparency with stakeholders is essential for managing reputational risk.

Scaling and Growing the Business

Once your financial company is up and running, the focus shifts to scaling and growing the business. Growth in the financial industry can be achieved through various strategies, including expanding your product or service offerings, entering new markets, or acquiring other companies.

Expanding your product or service offerings can help you attract new customers and increase revenue. For example, a fintech startup that initially offers digital payments may choose to expand into lending, insurance, or wealth management. However, conducting thorough market research and ensuring that your company has the necessary resources and expertise before diversifying your offerings is essential.

Another growth strategy is entering new markets. This could involve expanding into new geographic regions or targeting different customer segments. For example, a financial company that initially serves individual consumers may choose to enter the small business or corporate market. When entering new markets, it's crucial to understand each market's unique needs and challenges and tailor your approach accordingly.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are also common growth strategies in the financial industry. Acquiring another company can provide access to new customers, technologies, and expertise, allowing your business to scale more rapidly. However, M&A transactions can be complex and risky, so it's essential to conduct thorough due diligence and seek professional advice before proceeding.

Starting and managing a financial company is a complex and challenging endeavor that requires careful planning, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of the financial industry. By focusing on the key areas of market research, business planning, funding, risk management, and growth, you can build a successful financial company that thrives in a competitive and rapidly evolving landscape.
