    <link>http://www.california-business-broker.com/California-Business-Broker-blog.html#President-Bush-proposes-increased-funding-for-the-SBA</link>
    <description>According to a press release from the SBA on Feb 4, 2008, President Bush is proposing a 15 increase to the SBA's budget for 2009. A 15 increase represents $657MM in additional funding. 

The budget would authorize more than $28 billion in its primary small business financing programs, including a level of $17.5 billion for the 7(a) Guaranteed Loan program, $7.5 billion for the Certified Development Company, or 504, loan program, and $3 billion for venture capital support under the Small Business Investment company program. 

Additionally, the upper limit for the SBA 7A loan program, which is used most often for business acquisitions, may be raised from 2 million to 3 million.

If enacted, this will provide additional options for both buyers and sellers.</description>
