An independent agency of the U.S. federal government that supports the creation, growth, and competitiveness of small businesses. The Small Business Administration (SBA) establishes small business size standards, administers contracting and business development programs, guarantees certain business loans, provides entrepreneurial resources, and works with federal agencies to increase small business participation in government procurement. The SBA also oversees programs for socio-economic categories, including the 8(a) Business Development Program and Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone), helping eligible businesses compete for federal contracting opportunities.
