Now Available: Government guaranteed, interest-free loans

If yours is an established, viable, for-profit small business and you could use some help paying off existing debt, then you should look into an America's Recovery Capital (ARC) bridge loan. These are interest-free, deferred-payment loans of up to $35,000 and are guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). As with all SBA financing programs, the ARC loans will be made by commercial lenders, not SBA directly. ARC loans will be available through SBA-approved lenders as long as the money holds out, or through September 30, 2010. --Brian Luskey, Associate Editor

Credit Card Security Standard Under Fire

The PCI security standard for credit card transactions came under fire at a recent Congressional hearing, with retailers on the attack and credit card companies on defense.

But more fundamentally, retailers questioned a system that makes them store card data instead of the banks - and take the bad publicity when the system fails. Visa's head of fraud control defended the reliability of PCI if retailers maintain compliance standards and said he constantly works with retailers to purge card data. For a complete report on the hearing, see Computerworld. --Jeff B. Copeland, Content Product Manager

So many entrepreneurs stick to the old "envelope" filing system. Mvelopes offers an alternative -- a way to effectively manage personal finances online. Read more.

Small Business Bags Stimulus Bill Tax Breaks

While nearly two-thirds of the newly-adopted $787 billion economic stimulus package represents spending programs, the other third (about $288 billion) offers tax breaks for individuals and businesses.
