SBA’s Patriot Express Loans for Veterans Reach $633 million
|
*************** Release Date: June 29, 2011 Contact: Dennis E. Byrne (202) 205-6567 Release Number: 11-43 Internet Address: http://www.sba.gov/news *************** WASHINGTON – In just four years the U.S. Small Business Administration's Patriot Express Pilot Loan Guarantee Initiative has provided more than $633 million in SBA-guaranteed loans to 7,650 veterans to start or expand their small businesses. Patriot Express, a pilot loan product, with streamlined paperwork, and based on the agency's SBA Express program, offers an enhanced guaranty and interest rate on loans to small businesses owned by veterans, reservists and their spouses. "As Independence Day arrives it is only natural for us to reflect on America's veterans – men and women who have the leadership skills and experience to become successful entrepreneurs and small business owners," said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. "The impact of this program the last four years has meant thousands of veterans and their families have had the resources to pursue their dreams as entrepreneurs, and at the same time create jobs and drive economic growth at a critical time for our country." Patriot Express was launched June 28, 2007, to expand upon the more than $1 billion in loans SBA guarantees annually for veteran-owned businesses across all its loan programs. SBA also offers counseling assistance and procurement support each year to more than 200,000 veterans, service-disabled veterans, reservists and members of the National Guard and their spouses. Patriot Express loans are offered by SBA's network of participating lenders nationwide and feature one of SBA's fastest turnaround times for loan approvals. Patriot Express loans are available for up to $500,000. The Patriot Express loan can be used for most business purposes, including start-up, expansion, equipment purchases, working capital, inventory or business-occupied real-estate purchases. Local SBA district offices can provide lists of Patriot Express lenders in their areas. Details on the initiative can be found at www.sba.gov/patriotexpress. To learn more about additional opportunities for veterans available through the SBA, please visit the website at www.sba.gov/vets. # # # -- 629 SE Quincy, Suite 102, Topeka, KS 66603-3921

EPA Certified Renovator Class
|
April 22, 2010 has come and gone, let's not get caught not certified!
Next class is June 15, 2011 1601 E. 18th Street. Remember:
On successful completion of this 8 hours class the student will receive EPA National 5 year Certification as a Certified Renovator. Under Federal law 40 CFR 745 The RRP is a Mandatory Class for any one who perform services for compensation that could disturb lead based paint in a pre-1978 home, school or child occupied facility. Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children. Under this rule workers must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices. Individuals can become certified renovators by taking an eight-hour training course from an EPA-approved training provider. Failure to comply with this rule can result in fines of up to $37.000 per occurrence and 1 year in prison. Pre-registration is imperative! Call if you have any questions..

Starting a Small Business? SBA has an App for That.
|
SBA Introduces New Mobile Application for Small Business Owners, Entrepreneurs **************** Release Date: May 24, 2011 Contact: Cecelia Taylor (202) 401-3059 Release Number: 11-39 Internet Address: www.sba.gov/newsFollow us on Twitter, Facebook & Blogs **************** WASHINGTON – Smart phone users interested in starting or growing a small business can now find helpful resources at their fingertips via a new SBA mobile application from the U.S. Small Business Administration. "Increasingly, smart phones are the vehicle through which Americans access information. This is certainly true of many entrepreneurs and small business owners and this new application ensures they will have access to SBA's resources and programs – literally at their fingertips," said SBA Administrator Karen G. Mills. "Greater mobility fits with the new user-focused SBA.gov launched recently, and is another example of the steps we are taking to do a better job of connecting entrepreneurs and small business owners with the tools to help them start or grow their businesses and create jobs." Developed and donated as a gift by Palo Alto Software, Inc., the SBA mobile app will make the search for extensive resources more efficient, whether users are starting a new business or taking an existing business to a new level. The app will first be available for the Apple iPhone®, with future versions for other smart phone platforms. "Palo Alto Software's mission is to help small businesses succeed. We've developed this mobile application for the SBA because we understand the importance of having the right tools and resources when starting or growing a business," said Sabrina Parsons, CEO of Palo Alto Software. "Ideas can strike entrepreneurs at any moment, and having useful resources available through mobile devices could be the impetus that begins the next big company." The mobile app will help users connect with SBA district office staff and SBA-affiliated counselors and mentors who can provide free, personalized small business assistance. The user-friendly format of the app will help answer questions such as: How do I start a business? Where can I go in my area to get free help with writing a business plan? And where do I begin finding funding for my business? The SBA mobile app also features a built-in startup cost calculator to help estimate the costs associated with getting a business off the ground, plus an SBA partner locator to help users find SBA offices, Small Business Development Centers, Women's Business Centers and SCORE. Users will also have mobile access to SBA video content and social media alerts to provide them with tips on the go. This will include live updates from the SBA's YouTube channel and from SBA's Twitter feeds. The free mobile app can be downloaded from the SBA's website at www.sba.gov/content/sba-mobile-app. # # # --

Effective Online Business Marketing & Promotion
|
So, you are in business and have your business cards, a few leads, and even an email address and website, what next?
Of course, you can attend a lot of networking events to pass out your business cards and flyer's or even take the standard route of advertising in the newspaper, TV or radio, but as you go online to search before buying; so do others. Not only do companies use the Internet (basic and targeted searches on Google or specific vendor directories), government often look for your business to see what the Internet has to say about you and to get more information.
Here's a few suggestions to increase your visibility to those most likely to purchase or do business with you.
1) Take time to complete register your business with free online directories.
a) Google Places if you have Gmail
More people search for businesses online than anywhere else, so it's important to make sure your business listing can be easily found on Google.com and Google Maps. With Google Places, creating a great listing takes just a few minutes and doesn't cost a thing.
b) Yahoo Local if you have Yahoo
With your free business listing on Yahoo! Local you can: - Display your address, phone number, and web site URL
- Put your business in up to 5 categories
- List products, services, brands, and more
The more features a directory provides, the better your chance to rank high on search engines such as Google. Online directories that allow you to add photos, keywords, a detailed description, links to your social media sites like Facebook, the ability to create/manage online coupons, a visual map of your business location, user-friendly URLs (SEO),,, all make you easier to be found on the Web.
Our online directories provide all of the above; which is why our business listings rank high on Google. An added benefit is that your business is subscribed to both directories.
2) Register as a vendor with your local and state government procurement/contracts department.
Government buy a lot of products and services. From training to plastic bags or demolition to gas... government is often the biggest buyer of goods and services that range from under $999 to into the millions. Your local and state government should be your first choice in pursuing if you believe you can provide the products or services they use in abundance.
Due to State of Kansas SMART Strategic Sourcing System requirements, any bidder with an interest in bidding on any State of Kansas SOURCING EVENT must register with the Division of Purchases at least 24 hours before the Bid Event official finish date and time. If you fail to register in a timely fashion, your bid may be rejected in its entirety. If this is the first time you've registered with the Division of Purchases, you must complete the FREE BIDDER REGISTRATION SURVEY and submit a W-9 Form in support of your registration.
How To Become Eligible To Sell To The City (NEW IRS W9 form Must be used)
All vendors who are interested in doing business with the City of Topeka should register with the Contracts and Procurement Division by completing and submitting a Bidder's Application. Once your completed application has been received, your company will be placed on the vendor's mailing list with an indication of the products or services it provides. The vendor's mailing list is consulted when a commodity or service is needed, and it is used for notification of bid solicitations. Vendors may be removed from the vendor's mailing list when they fail to perform in accordance with contract provisions, or by submitting a written request to do so.
Bids must be securely sealed in an envelope addressed and marked on the outside with the name and address of bidder, quotation number and closing date in the lower left-hand corner. Bids by telephone or telegraph, or facsimile will not be accepted.
The UG's Supplier Diversity Ordinance was passed in February 2009. The Ordinance calls for goal setting on Construction projects in excess of $250,000. UG staff, along with the assistance of the Contract Fairness Board is responsible for setting these project goals. A full copy of the Ordinance may be found at the link below.

$100 Audit Program has been EXTENDED
|
The Energy Office has extended the $100 Audit program until October 1st. This allows anyone to get an energy audit on their home for only $100 – normally a $500 cost. The Audit is required to participate in Westar's Simple Savings program, and is the best way to identify how much energy (and MONEY) you are losing. Typically, an audit takes about 2 hours, and is a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the home. The auditor inputs the data into a program that provides details on how much energy the home is losing, and what the value of making specific improvements are. The auditor turns their report in to the Energy Office, where it is reviewed by technical staff. The staff notifies the auditor of the approval, and the amount of the loan they can receive. As a reminder – customers can get a no-interest loan from Westar for up to 15 years to be paid back on their utility bill. The estimated savings are required to be enough to cover the cost of the improvements over that 15-year period. Questions or comments should be directed to the Kansas Energy Office at (785) 271-3185.

Google Selects Kansas City, Kansas for Fiber Project
|
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 30, 2011
Google Selects Kansas City, Kansas for Fiber Project KANSAS CITY, Kan., March 30, 2011 ― Google announced today its selection of Kansas City, Kansas, as the location for its ultra high-speed fiber project. “The wonderful diversity of our community, neighborhoods and industry make Kansas City, Kansas a microcosm for the rest of the country,” said Mayor/CEO of the Unified Government Joe Reardon. “When you combine these assets with our well-established track record of development partnerships, we feel Kansas City, Kansas is the perfect location for Google to launch its fiber project.” Google unveiled their plan a year ago to build and study the use of ultra-high speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the country. As part of this process, the company asked interested communities to submit an application. Like more than 1,100 cities across the nation, the Unified Government (UG) submitted an application for this unique and innovative partnership. "This project represents the future of how we connect to the web, and we want it to start in Kansas City," said Milo Medin, Vice President for Access Services at Google. "It is a real honor for Google to be here, and we will work hard to deliver a service that will delight and empower this community to lead the nation forward in broadband." Google plans to offer service to the citizens of Kansas City beginning in 2012. In addition, as part of the agreement, Google will be providing free access to schools and city facilities as the fiber network is deployed. “The deployment of this high speed Internet service into our neighborhoods will undoubtedly further advance the academic vision and goals of our local schools and universities. Our students will benefit from this new opportunity allowing them to use this next generation fiber optic system to fully realize their potential in a global economy,” said Reardon. Google has committed to providing 1 gigabit per second fiber straight to homes and businesses at a competitive price. This is 100 times faster than most broadband connections speeds. One of the company’s goals is to improve Internet access by observing how communities transition from traditional broadband to ultra high-speed fiber optic connections. “Over the past decade, the jump from dial-up to broadband has led to streaming online video, digital music sales, video conferencing over the web, and countless other innovations that have transformed communication and commerce,” Medin said. Additional information on the Google Fiber project in Kansas City, Kansas is available at www.google.com/fiber/kansascityks. About Google Inc. Google's innovative search technologies connect millions of people around the world with information every day. Founded in 1998 by Stanford Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google today is a top web property in all major global markets. Google's targeted advertising program provides businesses of all sizes with measurable results, while enhancing the overall web experience for users. Google is headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. For more information, visit www.google.com.

Study Shows Rise in 'Jobless Entrepreneurship'
|
Study Shows Rise in 'Jobless Entrepreneurship' (KANSAS CITY, Mo.), March 7, 2011 – During the Great Recession, more Americans have become entrepreneurs than at any time in the past 15 years. However, while the economy and its high unemployment rates may have pressed more individuals into business ownership, most of them are going it alone, rather than starting companies that employ others.
The annual Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity shows that, while the 2010 startup rate remains the highest in fifteen years, lack of other options may have pressed more individuals into business ownership, most of them are going it alone, rather than starting companies that employ others.
