SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

The Small Business Administration is the largest financial backer of small businesses in the country. Its mission is to maintain and strengthen the U.S. economy by helping small businesses. Except for disaster relief loans, the SBA does not grant loans--it guarantees them. But this independent federal agency has seen better days since its establishment in 1953. This topic examines why -- and what might be done to help it.
