In response to the national economic crisis, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced it is strongly encouraging its participating 7(a) lenders and Certified Development companies to work with business borrowers to provide them with the flexibility they need to keep their businesses running during these difficult economic times.

As access to credit and capital has tightened, many businesses face increased challenges in meeting their financial obligations. This is especially true of new small businesses hit hard by the recent economic slowdown that are now unable to make payroll, or purchase essential inventory.

However, procurement and contracting opportunities for veterans remain viable and expanding with the new "stimulus" strategies.

No matter what the direction of the National Economy, the Federal, State and Local Governments will continue to collect tax revenue to procure and contract for products and services.

The Association for Service Disabled Veterans (ASDV) has established an "OPPORTUNITY" program to support our nation's commitment to the entrepreneurship aspirations of our military service veterans.

ASDV is the pioneer in the development of entrepreneurship as a rehabilitation strategy for veterans, and has sponsored most of the significant federal and state legislation in effect throughout the nation.
