Our Associates are located all over the state (and Maine and Vermont).  Here is a copy of a message I just Emailed to them:

“I was visiting a local banker this week.  He asked me, “When are you going to bring me some good deals to finance?”   I realized this was third banker in as many weeks who asked me the same question.    With the banks saying “bring ‘em on” and the economy on the upswing, could there be a better time to buy a business?  Consider:

ü  Interest rates are as low as you are apt to see them for a long time.

ü  The SBA guarantee fees, which can be substantial, are being waived until the end of the year.

üBusinesses that survived the downturn are the ones you want.

ü  Prices are low but will be rising as the economy improves.
