The “team” is a banker, an SBA representative, an SBA business counselor, and business owners like you. You’ll get first hand information on what credit criteria your banker has. The team will answer all of your financing questions and give you advice on what steps to take to achieve your goal of starting or expanding a business. We’ll explain how the SBA loan guarantee can work for you. The round tables are best suited for those who have good credit, a solid business idea, and some money to invest in the business.

The Detroit Economics Club Presents: Dr. Carl Schramm, President and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation.

Economic Growth: The Forgotten Dimension of the Recovery.

In the midst of the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, fingers are increasingly being pointed at capitalism. Excesses in the markets got us into this mess, so the thinking goes, and only a firm regulatory hand will get us out. That’s the conventional wisdom–and it’s all wrong. Kauffman Foundation President and CEO Carl Schramm will explain why capitalism did not cause the problem but does offer the solution. And not just any capitalism but entrepreneurial capitalism–the risk-taking innovation by our nation’s entrepreneurs that creates jobs, life-enhancing products and services, and the growth that will lead our nation toward economic recovery and prosperity.
