For more than 50 years, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has successfully served the nation’s current and future small business owners. We recognize that small business is critical to our current economic recovery and future strength, to building America’s future, and to helping the United States compete in today’s global marketplace. 

SBA has grown significantly in terms of total assistance provided and its array of programs have been tailored to encourage small enterprises in all areas. SBA's programs now include financial and federal contract procurement assistance, management assistance, and specialized outreach to women, minorities and armed forces veterans. SBA also provides loans to victims of natural disasters and specialized advice and assistance in international trade.
