According to the Federal Reserve the lending to small business those companies with under 50 million in annual sales is getting easier for the first time since the latter part of 2006. The big banks and financial institutions are loosening the purse strings but smaller banks are still locked down and it can be very difficult to obtain small commercial financing.

The divide between lenders and borrowers is a huge blockade to help the economy recover mostly because of the new definitions of what is considered “creditworthy”.  A good creditworthy small business just a few years ago can now be considered high  risk and no longer a candidate for financing that would insure or help the growth of that company.
