AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Small-Business Funding: Canada’s FedNor announced nearly $5 million for regional business-support projects. In Nigeria, Sterling Bank and Cascador launched a $200 million SME credit fund, while India’s Account Aggregator lending reached ₹3.82 lakh crore, with a study finding stronger growth and wider access for first-time borrowers. Costs and Confidence: U.S. small-business optimism slipped in September as inflation and hiring challenges weighed on owners; inflation hit 3.7%. Tax and Regulation: Australia’s proposed trust-tax changes are drawing strong opposition from family businesses worried about new costs and complexity. California has also expanded licensing rules for commercial-financing providers, with unlicensed agreements potentially unenforceable. Local Business Support: A Timmins mayoral candidate says the city’s safety grant forces small firms to pay thousands upfront and wait months for reimbursement, and wants the program reviewed.
