Reginald,
We certainly agree that the government does provide some essential services to small businesses. You referenced the SBA, which was a lifeline for small business lending during the economic downturn, and continues to help small businesses access the capital they need to grow while lenders maintain tight restrictions. However, the President’s recent tax proposal will hinder small businesses as they continue to build instead of helping them through a stagnant economy.
For the franchise industry to meet its modest growth projections, franchise small business owners need tax certainty to plan, invest, and hire.
