Small business is America’s
most powerful engine of opportunity and economic growth. For millions of Americans, starting a business
is the best opportunity to turn a dream into reality.
However,
barriers to opportunity still prevent some individuals from taking
full advantage of the opportunity to own a small business. By expanding the ability for more Americans
to realize their business ownership dreams, the foundation of the
economy will be further diversified and strengthened.
The SBA seeks to foster an environment where small businesses
can overcome barriers to economic opportunity in all areas of business
development, including government contracting.
This assistance will provide greater economic opportunity
that will further contribute to the growth of the American economy.
SBA strives to reach those sectors of the population currently underserved
by its programs, including ethnic populations, women, veterans,
and both urban and rural businesses.
The following resources offer opportunities and assistance.
