Detroit Retail Industry Looking for Financing in 2016

The Small Business Administration recently released a report in which they explain the benefits of alternative financing. Economic researcher, Miriam Segal explains, “Peer-to-peer loans offer the benefits of an expedited application process, smaller loan amounts, and shorter terms.”
