With the expansion of the Microloan program, small businesses and entrepreneurs will have greater access to the capital they need to keep their businesses running effectively, and to purchase much-needed equipment and supplies. An expanded list of lenders, coupled with the SBA's efforts to improve consumer knowledge of the Microloan program, is exactly the type of proactive, consumer-driven support small business owners deserve from the federal government."
