Description
More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness.
As part of the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Month, Eastern Bank will host a reception as an opportunity to thank the entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others business professionals for the contributions they make to our communities.
About Eastern Bank
Eastern Bank ranks as the No. 1 Small Business Administration lender in Massachusetts, the fourth straight year it has done so. Boston-based Eastern Bank made 400 SBA loans in Massachusetts totaling more than $23 million, according to figures from the SBA’s Boston District Office. By SBA calculations, those loans collectively created nearly 500 jobs and retained about 1,700 others.
“Eastern Bank understands that successful small businesses are vital to our local and national economy,” Richard E. Holbrook, Eastern Bank chairman and chief executive said in a statement.
