SBA offering small loans to keep troubled firms afloat

The newly inked federal economic stimulus package offers only limited benefits for small businesses.

Of particular interest is the stimulus package’s $35,000 life preserver for small businesses drowning in red ink.

Under the law, the Small Business Administration temporarily will guarantee 100 percent of loans of up to $35,000 issued by banks to small businesses struggling to make payments on existing debt. The SBA will pay the interest on the loan, and small businesses will have a year before they must start repaying it.
