Separate and apart from the financial assistance being provided to small businesses through the Small Business Administration, Congress has set aside $500,000,000,000 for wide ranging financial assistance to selected industries and mid-sized businesses characterized as having between 500 and 10,000 employees. The Secretary of the Treasury has been granted sweeping authority, through use of a variety of financial institutions, to structure the form, the terms, the underwriting, and the application process for this financial assistance.
