    How might increasing the capital investment cap from 5% to 15% affect small banks' ability to lend to other businesses in their communities?

  2. 02

    What evidence suggests that small businesses currently lack access to investment capital that this increased bank investment would address?

  3. 03

    How could this change create different outcomes for small businesses in rural versus urban areas with varying access to community financial institutions?
