“Small business has been called the engine of the nation’s economy. By assisting small businesses in a variety of ways, we can help spur economic growth,” says Rita Hollingsworth of Wilmington, senior vice president and small business banker market executive for Bank of America. That’s especially important here, where Gov. Jack Markell has emphasized a commitment to developing small businesses. Hollingsworth’s main goal is to make it easier for owners to work with Bank of America.
