AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Small Business Hiring Watch: NFIB says small business job openings stalled in May, with the Small Business Employment Index slipping to 100.3 and fewer owners planning to add jobs. Policy That Hits the Counter: Delaware lawmakers consider allowing third-party alcohol delivery from local liquor stores, aiming to boost sales for small shops while requiring ID checks. Disaster Relief Push: Michigan’s congressional delegation urged the SBA to approve a disaster declaration after April storms, which could unlock low-interest loans for residents and small businesses. Local Growth & Community Business: Janesville’s Woodman’s Center booster group is shifting to a more public fundraising push after securing about $6M toward a potential $50M sports and convention project. Training for New Owners: North Central SBDC is inviting entrepreneurs to an 8-week “Start Up North Accelerated” virtual cohort focused on lender-ready plans, marketing, and projections. Cost Pressure Reality Check: SoFi’s State of Small Business survey finds 86% of owners report stability or growth, but high costs remain the top external drag and many are prioritizing cost cutting. Tech & Compliance: GAO recommends stronger continuous monitoring and incident response for federal cloud security, including SBA systems. Community Fundraising: GOALS launched a shoe drive fundraiser that will support adult literacy and also feed micro-enterprise partners through the resale of collected shoes.
