  Trump's executive order moves to scale back the CDFI Fund, a program that helps small businesses get financing. Supporters call it essential, critics say it's redundant.

The article from Forbes, published on March 19, 2025, discusses the potential impact of the end of the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans on small businesses. As the program, which was a financial lifeline during the economic downturn caused by the global health crisis, is set to expire, many small businesses are facing uncertainty. The article highlights how these loans helped businesses keep employees on payroll and cover operational costs. With the program's conclusion, there's concern over how small businesses will manage without this support, especially with ongoing economic recovery challenges, rising costs, and potential changes in economic policy. The piece also explores alternative financing options that might emerge or become more critical, like crowdfunding, venture capital, or new government initiatives, to fill the void left by the PPP.
