Rep. Allen West released the following statement:
(Washington)— Congressman Allen West (FL-22) today met with the Administrator from the Small Business Administration, Karen G. Mills, to discuss the state of South Florida small businesses and explore solutions as to how to better grow these businesses in this difficult economic environment.
“I’ve spent the past month speaking with small business owners in the 22nd Congressional District,” West said. “From loans to the lack of government contract opportunity, I’ve learned from my constituents that there are many things the SBA could be doing differently to help small businesses.”
Of the top 100 employers in Palm Beach County, 61 are small businesses. 17 of the 21 fastest growing companies in Broward County are small businesses. Congressman West currently sits on the Small Business Committee in the United States House of Representatives.
Congressman West and SBA Administrator Mills discussed expanding credit cards and personally guaranteed loans to businesses. They also talked about how the local SBA can better help connect small businesses with government contracts.
“While providing access to capital is part of the SBA’s mission, small businesses need increased confidence through lower taxes and sound healthcare reform,” West said. “I look forward to working the SBA in the future to reach these goals.”
