American small business owners can learn how to take advantage of the federal government’s small business loan programs at http://SmallBusinessCenter.com.

The process of getting a government business loan is fairly simple. The business owner submits a loan application to a participating lender for initial review. A copy of the application and a credit analysis are forwarded by the lender to the U.S. Government’s Small Business Administration (SBA). Following SBA approval, the lending institution closes the loan and disburses the funds.

Start-up and existing small business may use the loan proceeds to:

expand or renovate facilities;

purchase machinery, equipment, fixtures and leasehold improvements;

finance receivables and augment working capital;

refinance existing debt (under some circumstances);

finance seasonal lines of credit;

construct commercial buildings; and/or

purchase land or buildings.

Congress created the SBA in 1953 to “aid, counsel, assist and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small business concerns.” Since its founding on July 30, 1953, SBA has delivered about 20 million loans, loan guarantees, and other forms of assistance to small businesses.

In 2005, the SBA guaranteed 88,912 small business loans through its flagship 7(a) business loan program for a total of $ 14 billion, a 23% increase in the number of business loans compared to the previous year. In the Certified Development Company loan program, also known as the 504 program, 8,979 loans were made for $ 4.9 billion.

Business loans to women were up 39% over 2004. Loans to African Americans were up 41%. For Hispanics, the increase in loans was 19% and for Asians it was 17%. Women received $ 3.3 billion in government small business loans, representing 17% of total dollars, an increase of 27% over the previous year. Minorities received $ 5.8 billion in small business loans, representing 31% of total dollars, an increase of 26% over the previous year.

Small businesses turned to the U.S. Small Business Administration for commercial financing in record numbers in 2005, securing 97,891 small business loans through its two main small business loan programs, setting a loan volume record for the fifth consecutive year. The figure is more than double the number of small business loans made in 2000.

“This is fantastic news for small businesses and we’re very pleased with the results our two main loan programs showed in 2005,” said SBA Administrator Hector V. Barreto. “This positive growth trend means that the President’s mission of providing an economic environment in which entrepreneurs can succeed is working. It is further evidence that small businesses are continuing to power the economy and create jobs. It’s also a positive thing for the taxpayers,” Barreto added. “In 2004 it cost $ 100 million in government dollars to operate the 7(a) program. In 2005, modest fees paid by the lenders and borrowers have allowed us to meet the extraordinary demand for these loans and dollars without taxpayer expense. We’re proud these cost-effective programs have been a win-win for small businesses and the American taxpayer.”

San Juan Capistrano, CA (PRWEB) November 3, 2010

Covenant Debt Solutions a leading provider of debt resolution services, today announced a business model that accommodates the new Telemarketing Sales Rule from the Federal Trade Commission. The change went into effect Wednesday October 27th and applies to all clients on or after that date.

Covenant Debt Solutions is encouraged by the new ruling and believes the debt settlement industry will be better for it. Settlements will be faster and the customer experience will be improved.

The Covenant Debt Solutions business model based on the Telemarketing Sales Rule from the Federal Trade Commission means clients will not be charged for debt settlement services until their unsecured debt is settled satisfactorily. Covenant is different from many debt resolution companies in that it uses Attorneys to effectively settle customer debt. The company offers a three part guarantee to ensure customer satisfaction. Covenant’s trained debt counselors are in some cases able to cut the customers payments in half and settle the outstanding debt in 12-36 months.

Covenant Debt Solutions advertises on many radio stations throughout CA and is endorsed by KFI 640 AM’s Bill Handel.

Responding to the challenges facing up corporeal court-ordered departments today in insuring circular anti-corruption compliance, Lex Mundi has rolled up and printed Best Practices in Preventing Fraud and Corruption in a Global Business. Developed by Lex Mundi member firms around the globe, in collaboration with in-house counsel and members of the Lex Mundi Client Advisory Council, Best Practices in Preventing Fraud and Corruption in a Global Business provides pragmatic suggestions and steps to alter corporations and their law firm advisors to work together to evolve efficacious compliance programs to debar, observe and remedy wrongdoing, especially fraud and corruption

As a result of significant changes in the regulatory landscape, global businesses are facing more numerous and complex regulations as well as increasingly aggressive enforcement environments. The truthful impact for businesses is a shift in emphasis from detection of corruption to enforcement a shift that increases the pressure on corporeal court-ordered departments to demo compliance.

E. Leigh Dance, President of ELD International, Inc., who assisted evolve these best practices, noticed, “Corporate law departments expend an enthusiastic deal of time and focus on reducing the risks of corruption and fraud for their organizations wherever they are about. It is a necessitating task in light of fast circular expansion and the ample range of cultures and business practices impacted by regulation. The costs tied in with insuring compliance globally are eminent, and too many corporeal law functions do not have the resources or the management commitment they necessitate. Beyond the big task of understanding and reacting to fresh regulations, in-house counsel also have the challenge of schooling the corporate workforce and its leadership about the issues in order to reduce the earthshaking risks. Law firms reding global companies can react to this challenge by working alongside in-house counsel on training, scrutinising, announcing, investigations, reacting to restrictive inquiries and other areas.”

The publication covers the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and recent FCPA enforcement actions, as well as other existing anti-corruption standards. The best practices also spread over the issues that are amidship to efficacious compliance programs and render proposed ways that in-house and outside counsel can work together in the areas of:

Corporate Policies and Procedures Monitoring, Controls, Reporting and Audits Investigations, Disciplinary Actions and Sanctions Compliance Structure: Coordination With Other Functions Within the Company Communication: Promoting Compliance and Maintaining Vigilance Education and Training in a Global Corporate Setting Responding to Third-Party Fraud and Corruption Risk

Frank Eichler, General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Ozburn-Hessey Logistics, a global supply chain solutions company with operations on seven continents, also commented, “Understanding the requirements of the FCPA is critical for in-house counsel of companies that do business internationally. The stakes at risk for FCPA violations are enormous today for both companies and individuals and under-managing or ignoring the risks is simply not an option.”

The publication is developed as a part of Lex Mundi’s best practices series ‘Working Together: In-House Lawyers and External Counsel’. It, as well as other best practices publications, is accessible on the Lex Mundi web site loose of charge at: http://www.lexmundi.com/images/lexmundi/PDF/BestPractices/BestPractice_FraudCorruption.pdf
