***************

WASHINGTON – In just four years the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Patriot Express Pilot Loan Guarantee Initiative has provided more than $633 million in SBA-guaranteed loans to 7,650 veterans to start or expand their small businesses.

Patriot Express, a pilot loan product, with streamlined paperwork, and based on the agency’s SBA Express program, offers an enhanced guaranty and interest rate on loans to small businesses owned by veterans, reservists and their spouses.

“As Independence Day arrives it is only natural for us to reflect on America’s veterans – men and women who have the leadership skills and experience to become successful entrepreneurs and small business owners,” said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. “The impact of this program the last four years has meant thousands of veterans and their families have had the resources to pursue their dreams as entrepreneurs, and at the same time create jobs and drive economic growth at a critical time for our country.”

Patriot Express was launched June 28, 2007, to expand upon the more than $1 billion in loans SBA guarantees annually for veteran-owned businesses across all its loan programs. SBA also offers counseling assistance and procurement support each year to more than 200,000 veterans, service-disabled veterans, reservists and members of the National Guard and their spouses.

Patriot Express loans are offered by SBA’s network of participating lenders nationwide and feature one of SBA’s fastest turnaround times for loan approvals. Patriot Express loans are available for up to $500,000.

The Patriot Express loan can be used for most business purposes, including start-up, expansion, equipment purchases, working capital, inventory or business-occupied real-estate purchases. Local SBA district offices can provide lists of Patriot Express lenders in their areas. Details on the initiative can be found at www.sba.gov/patriotexpress.

EHR Incentive Program

Healthcare Professionals Did You Know?

Non-hospital-based physicians and other eligible professionals can obtain incentive payments of as much as $44,000 under Medicare or $63,750 under Medicaid. Under both Medicare and Medicaid, eligible hospitals may receive millions of dollars for implementing and meaningfully using certified EHR technology.

About two-thirds (65 percent) of hospitals and 32 percent of office-based physicians plan to enroll in meaningful use programs by the end of 2012 in order to receive the maximum incentives, according to survey results announced Thursday morning. Fewer federal dollars will be available to hospitals and doctors that wait to adopt EHR technology, and failure to meaningfully use EHRs starting in 2015 will result in Medicare penalties.

Join Customer Advantage

Hello!
You may have heard of a 2-year-old company called Groupon whose founder said "No Thanks" to a $6 Billion Dollar buyout offer from Google recently. Now you have the chance to be among the first members of a very similar company called "The Customer Advantage" which has improved upon the proven business model by adding a very innovative marketing plan that now YOU get paid on. Here's a video that you really need to check out about the Groupon-like business, The Customer Advantage (TCA)... http://www.youtube.com/embed/hTov38TLpCI

Everyone can succeed when it is ALWAYS FREE and saves everyone money on products and services they're using anyways in their local community. This concept made Groupon the "fastest growing company in the world", even broke all the records set by facebook. Very simply, Groupon DOES NOT PAY their 54 Million members... but The Customer Advantage DOES PAY their members. "Millions" of people currently using Groupon will be coming to The Customer Advantage. In just the last four months, we've had over 60,000 new members join The Customer Advantage... a pace already proving to be MUCH faster than Groupons' that had only 500 members in their first four months... let me put that into perspective, that's over 120 times FASTER growth than Groupon.

Think of all your business and personal contacts who will benefit from the incredible 50%+ discounts at their favorite stores, restaurants, salons & spas, resorts, theatres, gym memberships, etc... Think of all the fundraisers that will benefit by sharing this with their members... schools, churches, clubs, and businesses also... the list is endless. And those who are the first to reach out to these organizations will reap the rewards!

No buy-ins. No monthly auto-ships or purchase requirements. Completely FREE. You get paid while saving money and helping your friends to save money as well! The ONLY disadvantage to The Customer Advantage is NOT joining The Customer Advantage.
