Agency Snapshot: Small Business Administration

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) helps Americans grow businesses and create jobs by providing resources and tools, including access to capital; opportunities in Federal contracting; access to entrepreneurial education; and disaster assistance for all disaster victims. SBA has three overarching goals for the next five years: (1) Grow businesses and create jobs, (2) Build an Agency that meets the needs of present and future small businesses, and (3) Serve as the voice for small businesses.

 

SBA’s mission is to maintain and strengthen the Nation’s economy by enabling the establishment and vitality of small businesses and by assisting in the economic recovery of communities after disasters. The agency's budget is used to support financial assistance, management and technical assistance, disaster assistance and regulatory assistance. Non-budgetary resources include borrowing authority and collections of loan principal, and interest and fees in financing funds. Like other agencies, SBA is committed to pursuing this important mission while managing its finances effectively, which includes ensuring its payments are accurate, using only property it needs, and accounting for its finances properly.
