US Small Business Administration (SBA)

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is a government agency that supports small businesses through various programs, resources, and services. Its main goal is to help small businesses start, grow, and succeed by providing access to funding, counseling, training, and federal contracting opportunities. The SBA does not lend money directly but guarantees loans from approved lenders, making it easier for small businesses to obtain financing. It also offers resources to improve management skills and navigate regulations, playing a vital role in promoting a healthy and competitive small business community in the United States.
