Want to learn about how the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Stimulus Package can help your business? Join us for a special discussion with Richard Blewett, National Customer Service Manager of SBA.
In the American Recovery and Reinvestment acting signed by the President on February 17, 2009, the SBA was given a key role in providing incentives to borrowers and lenders alike to help rebuild our financial system. The bill was divided into nine (9) key components that involve both existing SBA loans programs as well as create a new SBA loan program. Some of the bill's provisions have already been implemented and others are still under development but will be announced in the near future.
Richard will be available to answer questions such as:
About SBA
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.
