CFO Services & Potential Impact Of An SBA Administrator

By Robbie Sutter


Business owners tend to rely on a number of different aspects in order to move forward, one of them being loans. One might think that these are easy to come across but the truth of the matter is that there are a number of regulations that can impede such efforts. Can the appointment of a new administrator for the Small Business Administration help matters? I have to believe that, if successful, this will lead CFO services to be much more beneficial for companies that would like to utilize them.

The Republic put up a story that talked about the hiring of a new Small Business Administration administrator by President Barack Obama. The individual who was hired for the job was Maria Contreras-Sweet, who previously worked for the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. In addition, she was part of ProAmerica Bank for many years. It's apparent that she has a tremendous background to consider and it is because of her experience that small and medium-sized businesses stand a chance of being assisted in the biggest of ways.

The previous year was a troubling one when considering the interactions of small businesses and the SBA. The goals of the SBA were not met on time and companies were not left in the best of financial shape. It's clear that the business world possesses an element of trust; if goals are put forth and are not being met on time, chances are that individuals will be hesitant to interact with those entities again. Without much room for businesses or job openings, it's easy to see why the SBA has struggled.

As much of a background as Contreras-Sweet has, though, it's apparent that she has her work cut out for her. The Republic detailed that a number of small business owners have lost faith on the federal side of things, seeing as how it has been troubling to try to attain loans. This is a problem, to say the least, and it is one that authorities like CFO Consulting Services should place focus on. That being said, perhaps the element of challenge is one that Contreras-Sweet can tackle, thereby positively impacting CFO services in general.

In my opinion, Contreras-Sweet should not be so much focused on fixing matters right away but rather making them easier. The SBA has a few problems to consider and financial matters, from what I have seen, are not ones that can be solved over the course of a day. They have to be made better on a gradual basis so that companies can put their place back into the SBA. It seems like a reasonable course of action and hopefully progress will occur soon for the sake of small businesses.
