Good Morning!I want to thank Maria Meyers for inviting me to give you an overview of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Within these programs reside our SBA initiatives and public/ (slash)-private or non-profit partner initiatives.Within our Office of Capital Access, we provide our best known loan product, the 7(a) Loan, which is made through a lender and guaranteed by SBA federal backing.The 504 Loan product brings together community resources and certified development company resources to back loans to small businesses, who make a larger capital injection, mainly for bricks and mortar-type projects. The SBA backs the loan by selling debentures.The SBA licenses and provides matching funding to private small business investment companies to provide “angel” capital for small businesses who need growth capital.In our Small Business Innovation & Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, we work with other federal agencies and institutions of higher learning to bring research and technology projects – often specifically requested for federal use – into the public market as other products. GPS systems, which you are all familiar with, are a prime example of a product that was requested by the Department of Defense for military use, which was then developed as products for the public – in your car, on your phone for maps, in commercial flight, for instance.In contracting, we help disadvantaged businesses develop marketing plans and match small businesses to federal agencies as prime contractors, and match small businesses to prime contractors to meet specific small business contracting goals.You are probably all familiar with SBA’s funding contribution to its counseling arms - the SBDCs, WBCs and SCORE volunteers. We also provide matching funds for Veteran’s Business Resource Centers, and conduct our Boots to Business Training programs.In order to meet the President’s goal of increasing exporting by small businesses, SBA administered STEP (State Trade and Export Program) grants in the last three years. Also, we worked with other federal agencies to provide dollars to Kansas City through KCSourceLink last year to increase technology training and jobs in a federally-designated “Technology Cluster” – a sector where a lot of activity was going on that could be translated into jobs.Our Disaster program funds homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and small businesses affected by federally declared disasters with direct loans from the SBA.
And that’s what we are doing at the U.S. Small Business Administration every day.I hope to learn more today about your techniques and best practices to link our small businesses to the resources they need to start and grow today!
