This helpful tool is able to drill down to find out your business’ strengths or will help you focus on what may need improving if you don’t qualify. With just about 5 minutes of your time you could find out the best loan available for your business’ financial needs.

We all know that Subway launched the power in a five-dollar bill. Now, Starbucks has joined in on the $5 craze with the help of their caffeine loving customers and Opportunity Finance Network. In November 2011, Starbucks launched the Create Jobs for USA Fund, which supports the small-business lending sector.

For $5 you can order a Venti Non-Fat No Whip Mocha or you can donate it to Create Jobs for USA campaign. Your Abraham Lincoln adorned cash translates into $35 worth of small-business lending. That means you alone can help impact the 9.1% of the US population that is out of work. 100% of the donations will go towards creating and sustaining jobs for America. Not to mention, you get a snazzy bracelet to wear so everyone knows that you supported a good cause and are, let’s face it, down right cool.

This program is expected to raise tens of million of dollars which will result in $70 million dollars loaned and should result in about 3.300 jobs. That my friends is visibly indivisible.

 These days, a picture is worth a thousand words. Why? Because none of us have time to sit down and read thousands of words.

So, we took a look at our annual reports and realized we were only creating birdcage liners!

This year we wanted to change that. After all, innovation is our forte’!

TA-DA!

An online video annual report was the answer.

We are proud of how the video turned out and hope you will be too. More importantly, we are proud of the difference that was made in 2011 for over 500 small businesses and how our new programs will help create  jobs in 2012.

                                            Check out our video annual report for 2011 right here.

                                       The only real set back is that you’ll have to buy a new notepad to make notes on during that conference call.
