By: Charlie Chambers, Lead Consultant, Small Business Development Center Working with small businesses since the recovery from the last recession I have noticed a disturbing trend.

Business owners are surprised and disappointed to learn the banks and credit unions have little or no interest in loaning money to an individual that owes these back taxes. Think about it: If the business owner was unable to pay a tax liability, what makes the business owner think someone else will take the risk of not getting paid back?
