Forum on Small Business Capital Formation

The issue of capital formation for small businesses is one that is becoming more prevalent in today’s economic environment.  On Thursday, the Securities & Exchange Commission will host its annual Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation in Washington, DC.  I will serve as a co-moderator on the first panel with Karen Kerrigan of the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council.  I am looking forward to the overall discussion, as the roundtable includes representatives from banks, government, and the private sector.  These panelists are: David W. Bochnowski, NorthWest Indana Bancorp; Tom W. Burke, Wells Fargo & Company; Daniel M. Covitz, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Kenneth R. Pelowski, Pinnacle Ventures; Ned Pollack, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency; Andrew Sherman, Dickson Shapiro LLP; and Eric Zarnikow, U.S. Small Business Administration.

    You can view the podcast of this forum at http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/sbforum.shtml. This website also lists contact information at SEC to see how it plans to follow-up on this conference. I hope that this helps.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a carpet cleaning business in Houston,TX that was doing pretty good until the economy went bad, and with it my clientele. I have a website for the business but I dont
    know what I have to do the get it to show up in a search. Right now it’s somewhere in the yahoo/google netherworld (LOL).

    Is there someone on here that can give me some insight or know of anyone that coud give me insight on how I can get my local website on the front
    page of a Yahoo or Google search to increase my business without it costing me 5 or 10k $$$? If so please share with me.

    I thank you and my hungry over-eating children thank you.

    thanks,
