SmartBrief:
As the IFA Leadership Roundtable series continues to gather ideas from leading franchise professionals across the nation, the association steadfastly advances five key points before Congress and Washington policymakers: Increase credit by strengthening secondary markets; improve access to capital through SBA loan program changes; remove tax uncertainties and inequities for small businesses; make small-business health insurance more affordable; and support veterans as small-business owners.
Send this Five-Point Plan to your members of Congress today. Visit IFA’s new Credit Unlocking Toolkit and use the resources there to deliver the message that franchising is frustrated with the lack of assistance for Main Street. Now is the time for government and political leaders to back up their words about the power of small businesses and entrepreneurship with action.
