Ben Franklin on Small Business Week, Beer, and the Facebook IPO…

If you’ve ever wondered what I’d look like dressed up as Ben Franklin (and who hasn’t, really?), today’s your day. I’ve donned colonial-esque gear to channel one of my favorite Founding Fathers and bring you a special message as we wind down National Small Business Week.

To find out what Ben thinks about beer, the Facebook IPO, and the SBA 504 Refinance and FMLP programs (well, what I think he might think)…watch this short video…

All silliness and fun aside, I’m very serious about the need for Congress to extend the SBA 504 Refi and FMLP programs. I’m so serious about it, in fact, that I’m willing to dress up as Ben Franklin just to get your attention. If you haven’t contacted your two U.S. Senators about this issue, please do so today. And if you’re not convinced that extending these programs is necessary, I encourage you to read my Huffington Post blog and/or the testimony I presented to the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

Thanks for watching, and please leave a comment below to let me know what you think about my Ben Franklin impression.

Dedicated to Your Continued Success,

Chris

P.S. If you know someone who ought to take advantage of the SBA 504 Refi and/or FMLP programs, let me know right away. There’s a very short window of opportunity (if these programs don’t get extended), and I’d hate for a small business owner to miss out on a chance to lower their monthly payments and perhaps pull out some of the equity they have in their commercial property.

P.P.S. Happy early Memorial Day!
