What Can the SBA do for This Entrepreneur?

The SBA is the Small Business Administration. It is an organization set up and run by the United States Government. The mission is to help build and grow businesses. The SBA can provide valuable resources for an Entrepreneur, but is not the right fit for everyone. Below are a few opportunities from the SBA.

Free Online Training - There are several online presentations and training opportunities by visiting the SBA online. There are also local SBA offices that provide training.

Small Business Loan - Perhaps the most used is the SBA's loan system. The SBA provides business loans. There is an application and process to follow. These loans may work for you, but look closely, and avoid any loans if they can be avoided.

Free Start Up Kit - The SBA can provide you with a free start up kit. Be careful because as a government run organization these forms are not set up to be read quickly, but can provide valuable information.

The SBA is a powerful organization, and it is good to see the government supporting small business. There are local offices all across the United States. I would just suggest tread lightly and really evaluate the process before taking on a loan from the SBA.
