The U.S. Small Business Administration is a federal agency founded in 1953 and based in Washington, D.C. It supports small businesses by offering counseling, access to capital, and contracting expertise, helping owners and entrepreneurs start, grow, expand, or recover from setbacks. As a central government resource, the SBA coordinates these services to assist the small-business community. Its focus is on small business owners and entrepreneurs across diverse sectors, addressing their needs as they start up, scale operations, or work through recovery efforts after disasters. The agency operates within the government administration landscape and engages in partnerships and programs to broaden support for its constituents. In recent developments, the SBA opened an additional Business Recovery Center in Saipan to assist those affected by Super Typhoon Sinlaku.
