About NAPL:
The National Association of Premier Lenders (NAPL) is an organization of Certified Development Companies (CDCs) which promotes and supports beneficial policies for the Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loan program and the Premier Certified Lenders Program (PCLP). The PCL program delegates greater authority to CDCs, thus enabling a more efficient process with SBA oversight. The purpose of NAPL is to promote an administrative and legislative agenda which provides greater delegated authority, efficiency and ability for PCL CDCs to provide small businesses with access to capital.
Small Business Statement
Small businesses continue to be the driving force of the economy by employing millions of Americans each year. In order to achieve or maintain prosperity, a small business must have access to capital, which has become increasingly difficult to obtain in the recent economy. Providing small businesses with the necessary access to capital remains a priority and the SBA 504 loan program is one solution to this problem. The SBA 504 loan program offers fixed rate, below market financing for commercial, industrial projects and large fixed asset purchases. For further information regarding the SBA 504 loan program or to learn about CDCs in your region please contact: info@NAPL504.org
The NAPL Spring 2012 Conference will be dedicated to discussing the most important issues facing the 504 loan program industry, and will specifically focus on legislative efforts. NAPL will hold a general session on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 to encourage discussion on the industry's most critical items. In addition to the general session, NAPL attendees will participate in two days of Capitol Hill meetings on Wednesday, February 29 and Thursday, March 1, 2012. These Capitol Hill meetings allow those attending the conference to meet with a number of congressional offices which include local representatives and the offices of members sitting on relevant congressional committees.
The NAPL Conference will be held at the Courtyard Marriott- Arlington Crystal City/Reagan National Airport which is located in Arlington, Virginia. The conference will cost $250 for non-member, primary conference attendees; $200 for member, primary attendees; and $100 for each additional attendee of any company. If you are associated, in any way, with the 504 loan program industry, this will surely be a conference you will not want to miss; particularly with such focus on current legislative efforts and the 504 loan program. The conference is open to all interested parties, and we encourage non-member participation in the conference.
