The Small Business Administration helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships, the Small Business Administration assists and protects the interests of small business concerns. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is an autonomous U.S. government agency established in 1953 to bolster and promote the economy in general by providing assistance to small businesses. One of the largest functions of the SBA is the provision of counseling to aid individuals in trying to start and grow businesses. They are especially helpful with minorities, women and military veterans who want to start a small business.
SBA programs provide access to capital and preparation for small business opportunities. They can also connect veteran small business owners with federal procurement and commercial supply chains.
November is Veteran’s Month and the SBA wants to both honor and celebrate the veteran- and the military-owned business community. Although these training events below were designed with veterans in mind, all current and future small business owners are welcome
