SMALL BUSINESS
Governor Cliff Finch signed into law April 27 a bill raising the maximum loan available under the state?s Small Business Loan Guaranty Program to $50,000.
?I am very pleased that the maximum loan has been raised to $50,000,? Governor Finch stated. ?With this increase, it will be much easier for the small businessman to establish and maintain a business.?
Edward F. Mitcham, SB AD manager, said the new amount represents a $17,000 increase over the maximum loan available since the program?s inception in 1972.
As of May 31, 298 loans have been made in the amount of $6,290,000, meaning 720 new jobs in the state.
