Happy Anniversary to the SBA!

Celebrating 70 years of service to America's small businesses

In response to the Great Depression and WWII, the Small Business Administration (SBA) was founded under the 1953 Small Business Act to “aid, counsel, assist and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small business concerns.”   Read about the history of the SBA here. 

Since then, SBA has helped millions of entrepreneurs pursue their dreams of business ownership. Some of America’s biggest companies — including Nike, Apple, FedEx, Ben & Jerry’s, Under Armour and Chobani — got their start with help from SBA. Read about seven ways the SBA continues to serve small businesses here.
