AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Main Street Costs: Business owners are pressing incoming leaders to address rising insurance and energy bills, while data-center projects remain a concern after affordability dominated the midterms. Startup Reality Check: Laundromats may look like easy money online, but owners warn that repairs and daily operations make them far from passive investments. Typical purchases run about $300,000, with larger operations costing millions. Disaster Loans: The SBA’s drought-relief loan application deadline is one month away; eligible businesses should check the remaining assistance window. Veteran Entrepreneurs: Free workshops during National Veterans Small Business Week will connect veterans and military families with planning, certifications and financing resources, including an SIU Carbondale session on Nov. 13. Borrowing: Before taking financing, owners should confirm the need has a clear purpose and repayment plan rather than using debt to cover recurring shortfalls.
