		<description>Anita,

I was actually able to submit a question ahead of time about the credit crunch etc. to this panel, but I don&#039;t know if it was asked. My industry certainly needs major help.

If franchise start-ups can&#039;t get funded, not only will new small businesses not be created, but the new jobs that follow won&#039;t either.

We need the banks to open for business. I have folks that are looking seriously at franchise ownership ideas with me, and they&#039;ll need commercial loans soon.
