EVENT highlights
Barlow Research and the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) are well known for research on U.S. small business behavior. Looking at changes in external factors such as regulations, tax codes, interest rates, and the political environment, along with small businesses’ changing demographics, they will shed light on what small businesses are looking for from their lenders and what lenders should know and plan for.
Many believe American entrepreneurship is in trouble. The problems are many: lack of capital, too few entrepreneurial immigrants, excessive regulation, an aging population and rising student debt. Scott Shane, the A. Malachi Mixon III Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies and professor of economics at Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management and author of several books, including Is Entrepreneurship Dead???, will give perspective on the health of small business entrepreneurship and behavioral trends.
Financial institutions, technology vendors, and consulting firms rely on Aite Group's extensive research expertise, particularly in areas of consumer and business financial behavior. Learn about AITE’s current research and findings on small business fraud vectors. Areas of exploration will include loan stacking, synthetic identities, and bank statement fraud trends.
