Forty-one percent were unsure if the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) had resources to help them. Roughly 38 percent of small business owners say they need help growing revenue and increasing profits.

Liquidation Channel (LC), an interactive, omnichannel retailer focused on the fine jewelry, beauty, fashion, home decor and lifestyle categories, has announced the company will rebrand as Shop LC effective immediately.
Formed in 2007, Shop LC was originally known as The Jewelry Channel (TJC). Shortly after the launch of TJC, the U.S. entered a recession, and sales declined. Fully expecting to liquidate merchandise and cease operations, TJC changed its name to Liquidation Channel. However, instead of going out of business, the network experienced steady growth and has been operating as Liquidation Channel since 2008.

Do you feel financially prepared for the future? If you’re not completely confident in your response, you’re not alone. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Research Now Group, Inc. and commissioned by Fifth Third Private Bank (NASDAQ: FITB) found that nearly half of those surveyed have serious concerns that they may outlive their money in retirement.
The Bank launched the survey to understand families’ financial planning pain points and gain insight into how the process could be simplified through its new platform, Life360.
“The study confirmed the anxiety that clients have shared with our advisors is reflective of similar concerns nationally,” said Phil McHugh, executive vice president and head of Wealth and Asset Management at Fifth Third. “Much of that anxiety stems from a lack of clearly articulated financial goals and alignment around achieving them. Our Life360 platform works to help simplify, focus and holistically address these critical aspects of the financial planning process.”
