Customer Financed Job Creation

Created by J.R. on September 28, 2011

Small businesses are leading creators of jobs in the U.S.A. Many small businesses are constrained by limited access to capital. We recommend our government explore a tax policy that incentivizes businesses and consumers to pre-purchase goods and services. For example, if a customer pre-pays 90+ days in advance for $10,000 of goods from a U.S. based supplier it gets a 15% tax benefit (e.g. 15% offset worth $1,500 against the customer’s annual income tax). The potential benefits of such a policy:
1. Access to Capital: Small businesses gain access to capital that is directly correlated with the demand from their customers.
2. Job Creation: Small businesses gain hard dollar visibility into customer demand and can determine with increased confidence their staffing and hiring needs.
