Few of us think about the financial stress of the small businesses that serve us, but their survival has impact. When the local store, the producer of specialty parts, a favorite restaurant, family doctor or trusted mechanic go under, that changes our lives. Small businesses sometimes need cash to start up, expand or just hang on, and sometimes they need it NOW, so a lending industry has grown up that takes full advantage of that need, charging high interest rates with tough terms. A loan can mean life or death to a desperate owner, but repaying that loan can kill the patient or mean higher prices for you. Enter Jim Salters, a guy who considers himself an enlightened entrepreneur. He claims his company provides ethical loans to small businesses and that his approach is changing the industry. How? Has he combined good business sense with care, compassion and integrity in a field that can look pretty slimy? Listen in and find out how Jim is changing a part of the world that impacts you.
