One of the hardest parts of running a business isn’t the work itself, it’s figuring out where to turn when you hit a wall. - Need funding? The loan process feels like a maze. - Thinking about government contracts? The rules aren’t always clear. - Trying to grow or recover? It’s tough to know which programs are worth your time. That’s where the SBA steps in. Every month, the Small Business Administration hosts a live Q&A where entrepreneurs can bring their real challenges and get straight answers—direct from the source. No pre-registration, no recordings—just practical guidance you can use right away. 📅 Next session: Tuesday, September 23, 2025 🕛 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET | Online | Free That hour could be the difference between spinning your wheels and moving forward with clarity. 👉 Add it to your calendar and join live: https://lnkd.in/eciQJaay

Every dollar matters when you’re running a small business. So why let everyday spend go unrewarded? In 2025, debit card spending is outpacing credit, according to the WSJ, a return to pre-pandemic habits as businesses and consumers dial back debt and lean into debit for control and simplicity. But here’s the catch: only 24% of debit cardholders earn cash back, compared to 74% of credit users. That gap represents a huge missed opportunity, especially when 39% of businesses say they want flexible, real-cash rewards they can reinvest into operations, vendor payments, or even employee bonuses. At North One, we’re closing that gap. With 1% cash back with North One Plus, every transaction works harder, turning routine purchases into real reinvestments for your growth. Get rewarded with every swipe with North One’s cash back debit rewards.

We're proud of our support team stepping up every day to serve our small business customers. Regardless of the question or issue, they're ready and eager to provide stellar service promptly to ensure America's entrepreneurs can keep focused on building
