Capitalizing Small and Medium Businesses; A new idea
Here is an idea to capitalize small businesses using Financial Markets instead of SBA loans and Small Banks. There is a break down in the system. First the process is too bureaucratic since it is supervised by a government agency. Often taking 30 plus days with all the required paperwork. Typically dumb loans are made and better loans are never made due to percieved minority status loan making. Then the SBA, SBDC, Chambers of Commerce and local economic development groups PR the loan and instant success of said business and a year later the loan defaults. And on to some more recruits for PR. Meanwhile many worthy people go without, good candidates jump out of the process due to frustration. Often not applying in the first place since unspoken quotas make things tough to prove self worth of the system for PR releases to promote minority loans. Also even with the 20% guaranteed by the tax payers and SBA many banks are not so interested in little loans because it creates lots of paper work. After all it is nearly the same amount of paper work for one large loan as one little one. And unless the small banks or local division of a larger bank can get maximum PR often they just are not interested. The SBA has a dismal record of bad loans. Although the principle of the endeavor is extremely noble indeed; I propose another competing way to finance small businesses and perhaps in the future medium sized ones too, which could provide the innovations and research needed to take mankind to the next step. By providing competition we will improve the process of the SBA loan guarantee programs. Also catch more first time entrepreneurs or second step business people. The American Dream with a chance to attain the carrot with a little help from the Markets which were originally supposedly created to fund and capitalize the strength of our Capitalistic System in the first place.
Bank Employee Incentives vs. Mr. Public Consumer
Banks rank their divisions, branches and employees as with every industry. Which branch is profiting. Which are losing? Which sell the most products/services? Which ones have the biggest increases/declines in each week, month, quarter, annually, etc. It's broken down by state, city, branch and even employee.
What Will You Take For A Dollar?
The other day I sat in a meeting listening to a young man extol the virtues of owning real estate. Much of what he said was true. However two things made me sit up and take notice. I couldn't help but comment.
Careers
There are many different careers in the field of accounting ranging from entry-level bookkeeping to the Chief Financial Officer of a company. To achieve positions with more responsibility and higher salaries, it's necessary to have a degree in accounting as well as achieve various professional designations.
One of the primary milestones in any accountant's career is to become a Certified Public Accountant or CPA. To become a CPA you have to go to college with a major in accounting. You also have to pass a national CPA exam. There's also some employment experience required in a CPA firm. This is generally one to two years, although this varies from state to state. Once you satisfy all those requirements, you get a certificate that designates you as a CPA and you're allowed to offer your services to the public.
Many CPAs consider this just one stepping stone to their careers. The chief accountant in many offices is called the controller. The controller is in charge of managing the entire accounting system in a business stays on top of accounting and tax laws to keep the company legal and is responsible for preparing the financial statements.
The controller is also in charge of financial planning and budgeting. Some companies have only one accounting professional who's essentially the chief cook and bottle washer and does everything. As a business grows in size and complexity, then additional layers of personnel are required to handle the volume of work that comes from growth. Other areas in the company are also impacted by growth, and it's part of the controller's job to determine just how many more salaries the company can pay for additional people without negatively impacting growth and profits.
The controller also is responsible for preparing tax returns for the business; a much more involved and complex task than completing personal income tax forms! In larger organizations, the controller can report to a vice president of finance who reports to the chief financial officer, who is responsible for the broad objectives for growth and profit and implementing the appropriate strategies to achieve the objectives.
