Less than a month later, the company resumed small business lending after confirming its services were in compliance with the law. From 2008-2011, during the peak of the financial crisis, Guidant’s employee base doubled and client inquiries increased by 196 percent.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/12/prweb10248313.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guidant Financial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
