The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is dedicated to helping small business owners and entrepreneurs pursue the American Dream. From the beginning, the SBA’s mission has been clear: to help Americans start, build, and grow small businesses. The agency delivers on this mission through four core services—expanding access to capital, providing expert counseling and training, helping small businesses compete for federal contracting opportunities, and leading disaster recovery efforts for businesses and communities in need.
