Much to my surprise, I received the below information in a press release from the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. I am not one to get too excited too quickly about anything that the SBA does but maybe, just maybe, this program will actualy help some entrepreneurial spirited AMERICANS start businesses.

I’m going to look into this progran a little more and reserve my fonal judgement until such time I see a real incidence of it working.
