Remember to focus on employee engagement
Business owners who use their SBA financing on resources and tools to make their workforce happy might find that their company is able to achieve a higher growth rate in the future.
The Fed’s exit strategy uncertainty
US equities have been choppy the last few sessions as economic data has been mixed. After a sharp selloff on Friday, the S&P 500 recovered some of the declines in Monday's session when weaker-than-expected manufacturing data buttressed the belief the Fed will keep its economic stimulus in place. The May US manufacturing ISM printed at a 49%, the lowest reading since June 2009. Again, a reading below 50 represents contraction, while a reading above 50 represents expansion. Many attribute the surprising decline to the impact of the Sequester.
Entrepreneurship in the US reaches high levels

Marissa Mayer can be an example for all entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs who have worked out their business plan and are ready to build their staff to get their business ready to launch need growth capital, as well as a team of employees who are dedicated to the success of the company.
Small retailers will have to adjust to new legislation
Cash management is going to become especially important for many small- and medium-size retailers, as the Marketplace Fairness Act, which requires the collection of sales tax from online retailers that bring in more than $1 million in total "remote" – internet, mail order or telephone – sales, was recently passed by the Senate.
