SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
[Application No. 99000192]


CoreStates Enterprise Capital, Inc.; Filing of an Application for 
a License To Operate as a Small Business Investment Company

    Notice is hereby given of the filing of an application with the 
Small Business Administration (SBA) pursuant to Sec. 107.102 of the 
regulations governing small business investment companies (13 CFR 
107.102 (1995)) by CoreStates Enterprise Capital, Inc. at 1345 Chestnut 
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107 for a license to operate as a 
non-leveraged bank-owned small business investment company (SBIC) under 
the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, (15 U.S.C. et 
seq.), and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder. CoreStates 
Enterprise Capital, Inc. plans to operate principally within the Mid-
Atlantic region of the United States.
    The Applicant's full-time management team will consist of Michael 
F. Donoghue (Director and President), Christine C. Jones (Vice 
President) and Maureen P. Quinn (Vice President), who collectively will 
be the ``Principals'' of the Applicant. The Principals and other 
officers and employees of CoreStates Bank, N.A., the Applicant's 
management company, will provide management services to the Applicant.
    All of the Applicant's private capital will be provided by 
CoreStates Bank, N.A. which is wholly owned by CoreStates Financial 
Corporation, a bank holding company. CoreStates Financial Corporation 
is a Delaware corporation which has assets in excess of $29 billion and 
whose stock is publicly traded and is listed on the New York Stock 
Exchange. CoreStates Financial Corporation also has an interest in the 
following other SBIC's: a 5.9% interest as a limited partner in 
Meridian Venture Partners through ownership of National State Bank, and 
a 23.9% interest in Greater Philadelphia Venture Capital Corporation. 
CoreStates Financial Corporation is a passive investor in each such 
other SBICs and the Principals are not involved in their operation or 
management.
    The Applicant will begin operations with Regulatory Capital of $2.5 
million and plans to make investments in later-stage middle-market 
small businesses which operate in relatively stable markets and have a 
functionally diversified management team, predictable operating cash 
flow and revenues of at least $10 million.
    Matters involved in SBA's consideration of the application include 
the general business reputation and character of the proposed owners 
and management, and the probability of successful operations of the new 
company under their management, including profitability and financial 
soundness in accordance with the Act and Regulations.
    Notice is hereby given that any person may, not later than 15 days 
from the date of publication of this Notice, submit written comments on 
the proposed SBIC to the Associate Administrator for Investment, Small 
Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, SW, Washington, DC 20416.
    A copy of this Notice will be published in a newspaper of general 
circulation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
