“The mission of Advocacy’s Office of Economic Research is to conduct, sponsor, and promote economic research that provides an environment for small business growth.”
The Office of Advocacy recently awarded seven research contracts using fiscal year 2012 funds. The awards are listed in the table on this page. The topics include research into how and why small businesses decide to hire their first employee, the effects of a potential tax on Internet sales on small online retailers, and the benefits of various tax expenditure programs in the federal income tax code to small businesses. In addition, two studies will be conducted on each of two topics: how the use of credit scores affects small firms’ ability to access capital, especially women and minority-owned firms; and longitudinal, time series analysis of veteran-owned businesses with respect to growth, decline, firm survival, and employment.

The SBA is by far one of the most important government agencies given the economic climate we are in today. Keep up the good work.

I work with small businesses on a daily basis in regards to job creation through economic development. Many of which have reported great feedback from their dealings with the SBA.
I very much look forward to learning more about the findings from the research on small business job creation.

We would solely get these particular with the ground, and throughout the autumn months. You actually could bring gucci vans but I definitely would not encourage the item. It may possibly make softer the planning as well as appeared a tad unpolished.
