Guidant Financial Group Blog

There is a higher rate of entrepreneurs starting businesses today than we’ve seen in the past decade and a half, this according to the “Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity”, an annual index known as a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States.

A recent Inc. article highlighted this trend of economic independence. More and more people are taking direct control of their financial futures and becoming self-employed.

A deep recession and a shaky job recovery have persuaded many would-be entrepreneurs to put the corporate world behind them and set a new course for financial independence. A new vision for startup growth offered by both public and private sectors are encouraging this trend to continue.

This entrepreneurial spirit is at the heart of what Guidant is all about. We thrive on helping those seeking to finance a small business or franchise. We hold more top honors than any other industry provider, including national excellence awards from the Inc500, Small Business Administration and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
