<P>Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy. They are the biggest job creators and offer a path to the American Dream. But for many, it is difficult to get the capital they need to operate and succeed. In this book, a former U.S. Small Business Administrator and Senior Fellow at Harvard Business School focuses on the needs of small businesses for capital and how technology will transform the small business lending market. This market has been plagued by frictions: it is hard for a lender to figure out which small businesses are creditworthy, and borrowers often don’t know how much money or what kind of loan they need. Every small business is different, making it difficult for lenders to understand each business’s unique circumstances. Today, however, big data and artificial intelligence have the power to illuminate the opaque nature of a small business’s finances and make it easier for them access capital to weather bumpy cash flows or to invest in growth opportunities. From the dark days following the 2008-9 recession through the Covid-19 Pandemic crisis, the author charts how fintech has changed and continues to change small business lending. In the new fintech landscape financial products are embedded in applications that small business owners use daily, and data powered algorithms provide automated insights to determine which businesses are creditworthy. Digital challenger banks, big tech and traditional banks and credit card companies are deciding how they want to engage in the new lending ecosystem. Who will be the winners and losers? How should regulators respond? In this pivotal moment, the author elucidates how financial innovation and wise regulation can restore a path to the American Dream by improving access to small business credit. This book grapples with the broad significance of small business to the economy, the historical role of credit markets, the dynamics of innovation cycles, and the policy implications for regulation.</P>
