SBA LAUNCHES NEW AND IMPROVED ONLINE WOMEN'S BUSINESS CENTER:
SBA Administrator announced that the award-winning Online
Women's Business Center has a new look and a new address on the
Internet. The free, interactive entrepreneurial Web site, formerly
managed by a grantee, will now be managed directly by the SBA's
Office of Women's Business Ownership.
NEW SBA LOAN PROGRAM CHANGES SET SIZE LIMIT FOR LOANS, ADD INCENTIVES FOR SMALLER LOANS:
Recently enacted changes to the U.S. Small Business Administration's
(SBA) premier loan program strengthened the agency's array of incentives
designed to encourage private sector lenders to make smaller-sized
loans more readily available to small businesses. Changes were made
to SBA's three primary loan programs, the 7(a) General Business
Loan Guaranty program, the 504 Certified Development Company loan
program and the Microloan program.
WOMEN AND MINORITY BUSINESSES ELECT SBA AS AMERICA'S TOP GOVERNMENT AGENCY:
In the first Internet poll geared towards businesses with a diversity
focus, more than 50,000 women-owned and minority businesses voted
the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) America's top government
agency for promoting multicultural business opportunities.
