Small Business Association
The Small Business Association (SBA) is a U.S. government agency that supports small businesses by providing resources such as loan guarantees, counseling, and training. Its goal is to help small businesses start, grow, and succeed by reducing access barriers to funding and offering guidance on business development. The SBA does not lend money directly but facilitates access to financing through partner lenders, making it easier for small business owners to obtain loans, grants, and other assistance essential for their operations and expansion.
