ALTAMONTE SPRINGS - Mercantile Capital Corporation Chief Executive Officer Christopher G. Hurn (top right photo) in Altamonte Springs is more at home on the Fox News set or the pages of Forbes magazine than his current soap box — stumping to drum up Republican support for HR 5297, the Obama (middle left photo) administration’s efforts to provide capital for small businesses neglected by the major banks.
“This is a no-brainer for me,” said Hurn. “HR 5297 will benefit American small businesses. That’s the core of the American economy. That’s the primary job-creating sector of the economy,” he said.
“We’ve spent billions bailing out financial services and major manufacturers, making short term transfer payments and extending unemployment benefits, with little to show in stimulating the U.S. economy,” Hurn said.
“In the end, American small business will shoulder all those bills. We’ve got to fix the economy, and HR 5297 is the first big step in the right direction that I’ve seen so far,” he said.
Mercantile Capital Corporation ranks among the most active providers of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans for small business owners who want to acquire or develop their own facilities.
