SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an
independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect
the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive
enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We
recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength,
to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in
today's global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years
since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The
SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive
network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations,
SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico,
the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam.
