Small Business and the $700 Billion Bailout
 
Information on this page is part of an ongoing effort to help people in the SME capital market network think through developing business opportunities as new programs are launched to address financial deleveraging in the U.S and global economy.
 
October 3, 2008, Congress passed and the President signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 into law (the Act).

 

The amount of requested funds-$850 billion (including up to $700 billion for the purchase of troubled assets and up to $150 billion for the extension or expansion of a variety of tax breaks) create opportunities for service and solution providers in an economy that has been experiencing  stress from the fallout of the “subprime crisis” and the more general problem of economic contraction.

 

Provisions of the Act require the U.S. Treasury Department to work with small business.  Treasury asks small businesses to register with the government for consideration as financial agents and procurement contractors for the Troubled Asst Relief Program.

 
Click Department of the Treasury's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) to begin connecting your small business to opportunities offered by TARP.

  

Please add new information about small business participating in the $700 billion dollar bailout program please add it to this form.
