About U.S. Small Business Administration
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is the federal agency dedicated to small business, created by the Small Business Act of 1953. It guarantees loans through programs such as 7(a), 504, and Microloans; administers federal contracting certifications including 8(a) and HUBZone; and funds a nationwide counseling network of Small Business Development Centers, SCORE chapters, and Women's Business Centers.
The SBA also leads federal disaster lending for businesses and homeowners and coordinates the SBIR/STTR "America's Seed Fund" policy across agencies. Its programs are delivered primarily through partner lenders and resource organizations rather than direct grants to start a business — a distinction the agency itself emphasizes to help owners avoid grant scams.
