Nita F: How can a business owner advocate the federal government to expand the SBA Community Express Loan program?
This loan program is a “pilot” meaning that the number of loans that can be made are limited a percentage of the total SBA loans approved. My business assists small business owners and this is an excellent program to get credit to business owners but it doesn’t have a champion!

You could write your Congressperson.
You need to contact you local Representative and your two Senators. Provide them with as much information as you can to support the extension and expansion of the program. If possible, get testimonials from small businesses that have used the program successfully as well as get other small business owners to write to their senators and rep supporting the program. The more people you can get to have their voices heard, the better your chances – remember that you are competing for scarce dollars against other program people deem worthy.
