AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Restaurant Closures: Mezza9 Café in Rochester will shut down June 30 after rising costs, high rent, and low foot traffic squeezed the downtown business. Local Business Culture: A new study ranks Brenham, Texas among America’s top “handshake economy” towns, where trust and reputation still drive small business deals. Disaster Relief for SMBs: The SBA is offering low-interest disaster loans to South Carolina small businesses and private nonprofits hit by a Feb. 17 drought, with Economic Injury Disaster Loans available for working capital. Payment Rules Under Fire: Illinois lawmakers delayed a credit card swipe-fee law again, pushing implementation to July 1, 2027, as banks and payment groups keep challenging it in court. Owner Pay Basics: A practical guide breaks down how small business owners should pay themselves based on business structure (sole prop, partnership, S-corp, C-corp, and LLC tax choices). Compliance Vetting: Next Step Filings released a “Trust Standard” to help owners spot sketchy filing mills and verify compliance providers before paying. Community Support & Mentoring: SCORE returns with free one-on-one mentoring sessions via Pasadena Public Library, covering plans, financing, marketing, hiring, and succession. Hospitality Pressure: A report highlights how rising food and power costs are hitting hospitality businesses hard, pushing more closures. Digital Growth: Qatar’s online economy keeps expanding, with new rules letting some businesses operate fully through digital platforms.
