Small businesses are the cornerstone of the American economy, having comprised 46% of the country’s private nonfarm GDP in 2008 (Kobe, 2). We underestimate the importance of even the smallest of businesses, from the local grocery stores we buy our milk and eggs at, to the mom and pop shops that litter the avenues and boulevards of our small towns, catering to the communities that support them.

A major reason for small business failure to bolster the economy is a result of their inability to raise capital due to the decimation of the Small Business Administration's loans program ( Harpers Magazine, July 2014, V309 il 850 p79(2)). It appears that the very fuel that normally would stoke the economic furnace has been diluted through cost cutting measure as a result of a floundering economy.
