------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fundamental purposes of the Small Business Administration are to
aid, counsel, assist, and protect the interests of small business;
ensure that small business concerns receive a fair portion of Government
purchases, contracts, and subcontracts, as well as of the sales of
Government property; make loans to small business concerns, State and
local development companies, and the victims of floods or other
catastrophes, or of certain types of economic injury; and license,
regulate, and make loans to small business investment companies.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) was created by the Small
Business Act of 1953 and derives its present existence and authority
from the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.). It also derives its
authority from the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C.
661). The Secretary of Commerce has delegated to the Administration
certain responsibilities and functions under section 202 of the Public
Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3142) and is
further authorized to delegate to the Administrator certain
responsibilities and functions under chapter 3 of the Trade Act of 1974
(19 U.S.C. 2101).
Activities
Financial Assistance The Administration provides its guaranty to
lending institutions which make loans to small businesses to help them
finance plant construction, conversion, or expansion and acquire
equipment, facilities, machinery, supplies, or materials. It also
provides them with working capital. Since enactment of the act of June
4, 1976 (90 Stat. 663), farms are included within the term ``small
business concerns.''
The Administration may provide loan guarantees to finance
residential or commercial construction or rehabilitation for sale as
well as revolving lines of credit, including those for export purposes,
to qualified employee trusts. The Administration may finance small firms
that manufacture, sell, install, service, or develop specific energy
measures including engineering, architectural, consulting, or other
professional services connected with eligible energy measures.
[[Page 663]]
[[Page 664]]
The Administration may also provide assistance, through loans and
grants to nonprofit organizations, to very small businesses needing
small-scale (microloan) financing and technical assistance.
Under the provisions of sections 501-506 of the Small Business
Investment Act (15 U.S.C. 695, 696), loans are made to State and local
development companies who likewise assist small businesses by providing
long-term loans for the acquisition of land and buildings, construction,
conversion, or expansion of facilities, and the purchase of machinery
and equipment.
For further information, contact the nearest Small Business
Administration district office.
Disaster Assistance The Administration serves as the Federal disaster
bank for nonfarm, private sector losses. It lends money to help the
victims of floods, riots, or other catastrophes repair or replace most
disaster-damaged property. Direct loans with subsidized interest rates
are made to assist individuals, homeowners, businesses of all sizes and
nonprofit organizations. In addition, low interest long-term loans are
available to small businesses and small agricultural cooperatives
without credit elsewhere that have sustained substantial economic injury
resulting from natural disasters.
For further information, contact the Office of Disaster Assistance.
Phone, 202-205-6734.
Investment The Administration licenses, regulates, and provides
financial assistance to small business investment companies and section
301(d) licensees (formerly minority enterprise small business investment
companies). The sole function of these investment companies is to
provide venture capital in the form of equity financing, long-term loan
funds, and management services to small business concerns.
For further information, contact the Investment Division. Phone, 202-
205-6510.
Surety Bonds Through its Surety Bond Guarantee Program, the
Administration helps to make the contract bonding process accessible to
small and emerging contractors who find bonding unavailable. It will
guarantee to reimburse a qualified surety up to 90 percent of losses
incurred under bid, payment, or performance bonds issued to small
contractors on contracts valued up to $1.25 million. The contracts may
be for construction, supplies, manufacturing, or services provided by
either a prime contractor or subcontractor for governmental or
nongovernmental work.
For further information, contact the Office of Surety Guarantee. Phone,
202-205-6540.
Government Contracting The Administration works closely with purchasing
agencies of the Federal Government and with the Nation's leading
contractors in developing policies and procedures that will increase the
number of contracts going to small business.
The Administration provides a wide range of services to small firms
to help them obtain and fulfill Government contracts and subcontracts.
It sets aside suitable Government purchases for competitive award to
small business concerns and provides an appeal procedure for a low-
bidding small firm whose ability to perform a contract is questioned by
the contracting officer. The Administration develops subcontract
opportunities for small businesses by maintaining close contact with
prime contractors and referring qualified small firms to them. It
cooperates with Federal agencies in setting procurement goals for small
businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and small women-owned
businesses for prime contracts and subcontracts.
The Administration maintains a computerized small business source
referral system that provides qualified sources for Federal Government
and large business procurements. It cooperates with Government agencies
in ensuring that small firms have an opportunity to procure a fair share
of Government property, such as timber, royalty oil, strategic
materials, and mineral leases, that is sold to the private sector. The
Administration also works with Federal agencies to ensure that
[[Page 665]]
small firms have a fair opportunity to acquire surplus Government
property.
For further information, contact the Office of Government Contracting.
Phone, 202-205-6460.
Business Initiatives The Administration develops and cosponsors
counseling, education, and training for small businesses. The
Administration has forged ongoing partnerships with resource partners to
deliver most of the business education and training programs offered
annually at low cost. One-on-one counseling is provided free of charge
by the Service Corps of Retired Executives.
The Business Information Center (BIC) program is among the most
innovative methods of providing small business owners with a one-stop
approach to information, education, and training. The Centers combine
the latest computer technology, hardware, and software, an extensive
small business reference library of hard copy books and publications,
and current management videotapes to help clients venture into new
business areas. The use of software for a variety of business
applications offers clients of all types a means of addressing their
diverse needs. Although most BIC's are stand-alone centers, in
empowerment zones BIC's will form the core element of one-stop capital
shops.
In addition to education and training events, SBA cosponsors fact
sheets and other materials, ranging from short, single-topic flyers to
detailed publications, on a variety of business management and growth
topics.
Among the most visible public/private sector cosponsorships
undertaken by SBA are those involving major corporations and the
national Business Information Center network.
For further information, contact the Office of Business Initiatives.
Phone, 202-205-6665.
Minority Enterprise Development Sections 7(j) and 8(a) of the Small
Business Act provide the authority for the Minority Enterprise
Development Program, designed to promote business ownership by socially
and economically disadvantaged persons. Its components include the 8(a)
program and the 7(j) management and technical assistance program.
Participation in the 8(a) program may be made available to small
businesses that are at least 51 percent unconditionally owned,
controlled, and managed by one or more individuals determined by SBA to
be socially and economically disadvantaged. In order to gain approval
for participation in the 8(a) program, the firms must sell goods and/or
services that the Federal Government purchases, and demonstrate the
potential for successful business development.
Program participants receive a wide variety of services from SBA
including management and technical assistance, loans, and Federal
contracts. Under 8(a) program authority, SBA contracts with Federal
Government entities to provide goods and services and, in turn,
subcontracts the performance of these contracts to 8(a) program
participants.
Information regarding the program and 8(a) program applications are
provided by SBA's district offices. The Division of Program
Certification and Eligibility addresses issues related to 8(a) program
eligibility. The Division of Business Development handles matters
related to 8(a) contract awards and the business development of 8(a)
participant firms.
Under section 7(j) program authority, SBA provides management and
technical assistance to section 8(a) program participants, other
socially and economically disadvantaged persons, and those businesses
operating in low- income or high-unemployment areas. The Administration
enters into cooperative agreements and contracts with qualified
organizations and individuals, including businesses, State and local
governments, educational institutions, Indian tribes, and nonprofit
organizations to provide this assistance. At the local level, services
are provided on a one-to-one basis in the areas of bookkeeping and
accounting services, production, engineering and technical advice,
feasibility studies, marketing analysis and advertising expertise, legal
services, and specialized management training. The Administration also
funds innovative programs to provide for services in such areas as
transition
[[Page 666]]
management for 8(a) firms, competitive marketing strategies, financing,
comprehensive business plans, and financial management services.
For further information, contact the Office of Minority Enterprise
Development. Phone, 202-205-6412.
Advocacy The Office of Advocacy is mandated by Congress to serve as an
independent spokesperson within public policy councils for the more than
22.5 million small businesses throughout the country. The Office is
headed by the Chief Counsel for Advocacy, appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate, who advances the views,
concerns, and interests of small business before the Congress, the White
House, and Federal and State regulatory agencies. The Chief Counsel has
specific responsibilities for monitoring the compliance of Federal
agencies with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601), which
requires that Federal agencies analyze the impact of their regulations
on small entities and consider less burdensome alternatives. The Chief
Counsel is also empowered to file amicus curiae briefs in appellate
court proceedings involving compliance with the act.
The Office of Advocacy is one of the leading national sources for
information on the state of small business and the issues that affect
small business success and growth. It conducts economic and statistical
research into matters affecting the competitive strength of small
business and analyzes the impact of Federal laws, regulations, and
programs on small businesses, making recommendations to policymakers for
appropriate adjustments to meet the special needs of small business.
Additionally, regional advocates enhance communication between the
small business community and the Chief Counsel. As the Chief Counsel's
direct link to local business owners, State and local government
agencies, State legislatures, and small business organizations, they
help identify new issues and problems of small business by monitoring
the effect of Federal and State regulations and policies on the local
business communities within their regions.
For further information, contact the Office of Advocacy. Phone, 202-205-
6533.
Women's Business Ownership The Office of Women's Business Ownership
(OWBO) is authorized in section 412 of the Small Business Act to provide
assistance to the increasing number of current and potential woman
business owners, and to act as their advocate in the public and private
sector. It is the only office in the Federal Government specifically
targeted to the Nation's women business owners, assisting them in
becoming full partners in economic development through technical,
financial, and management information and training, business skills
counseling, and research.
Through a network of local SBA offices, OWBO offers a wide range of
education and training services and resources. The Women's Business
Ownership Act of 1988 and the Women's Business Development Act of 1991
authorized SBA to establish demonstration projects to provide long-term
training and counseling for women at every stage of their
entrepreneurial career. There are currently 53 Women's Business Centers
in 28 States and the District of Columbia, which provide community-based
training and assistance on financial, management, marketing, and
procurement matters through a 3-year grant which must be matched by
nonfederal funds. The centers offer assistance to current and potential
women business owners, tailored to the particular needs of the
community.
The Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training (WNET) is a year-
long mentoring program linking seasoned entrepreneurs with women whose
businesses are poised for growth. Featuring the group mentoring format
of the WNET Roundtable, the program aims to help entrepreneurs avoid the
common mistakes of new business owners.
The Office of Government Contracting and OWOB have initiated a
women's procurement pilot program with 11 major Federal procurement
agencies, with the goal of expanding the pool of
[[Page 667]]
women-owned businesses receiving Federal contracts. These efforts
include trade fairs, marketing activities, publications on Federal
contracting, and utilization of SBA's Procurement Automated Source
System (PASS).
In addition, the Women's Prequalification Pilot Loan program,
offered through district offices nationwide, enables women to prequalify
for an SBA loan guaranty before going to a lender. The program focuses
on the character, credit, experience, and repayment ability of the
applicant.
For further information, contact the Office of Women's Business
Ownership. Phone, 202-205-6673. Internet, http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov/
womeninbusiness/.
Veterans Affairs The Office of Veterans' Affairs (OVA) carries out the
Veterans Affairs program to ensure that SBA gives special consideration
in all its programs to veterans, their dependents, and survivors. The
program helps those who have dedicated significant portions of their
lives to the defense of the ideals which make entrepreneurship possible
in our Nation. The Office works with the Nation's 27 million veterans
and the nearly 500,000 military personnel affected by downsizing. It is
the only Federal Government office dedicated exclusively to helping
veterans who want to go into business.
Besides ensuring special consideration, OVA designs procurement and
management training programs specifically for veterans, and coordinates
veteran training and counseling with other departments of SBA. It also
measures veteran participation by monitoring loan, surety bond,
procurement, and training activity within SBA. The Office maintains
liaison with other veteran and veteran-related organizations to
accomplish its goals.
For further information, contact the Office of Veterans Affairs. Phone,
202-205-6773.
Technology The Office of Technology has authority and responsibility
for coordinating and monitoring the governmentwide activities of the
Small Business Innovation Research program (SBIR). In accordance with
the Small Business Research and Development Enhancement Act of 1992, as
amended (15 U.S.C. 631 note), the Office develops and issues policy
directives for the general conduct of the programs within the Federal
Government and maintains a source file and information program to
provide each interested and qualified small business concern with
information on opportunities to compete for SBIR program awards. The
Office also coordinates with each participating Federal agency in
developing a master release schedule of all program solicitations;
publishes the Presolicitation Announcement quarterly, which contains
pertinent facts on upcoming solicitations; and surveys and monitors
program operations within the Federal Government and reports on the
progress of the program each year to Congress.
The Office has four main objectives: to expand and improve SBIR; to
increase private sector commercialization of technology developed
through Federal research and development; to increase small business
participation in Federal research and development; and to improve the
dissemination of information concerning SBIR, particularly with regard
to participation by women-owned small business concerns and by socially
and economically disadvantaged small business concerns.
For further information, contact the Office of Technology. Phone, 202-
205-6450.
International Trade The Office of International Trade provides export
financing to small businesses. It administers the Export Working Capital
program, which provides short-term, transaction-specific financing for
exporting, including pre-export financing of labor and materials,
financing receivables generated from these sales, and standby letters of
credit used as performance bonds or payment guarantees to foreign
buyers.
The Office is a major participant in the U.S. Export Assistance
Center (USEAC) initiative, authorized by section 202 of the Export
Enhancement Act of 1992. The Centers provide a single point of contact
for all Federal export
[[Page 668]]
promotion and finance programs in the following cities: Atlanta, GA;
Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Cleveland, OH; Dallas, TX;
Denver, CO; Detroit, MI; Long Beach, CA; Miami, FL; New Orleans, LA; New
York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Seattle, WA; and; St. Louis, MO. They
integrate representatives of the Department of Commerce, the Small
Business Administration, the Export-Import Bank of the United States,
and the Agency for International Development to deliver services
directly and refer clients to appropriate public and private sector
partners.
The Office develops and recommends agency policy and procedures to
effectively deliver the International Trade program, provides tools for
SBA's resource partners, and coordinates activities with agency resource
partners and USEAC's to improve accessibility to its programs. The
Office also coordinates with other Federal agencies under the auspices
of the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC) to ensure that
trade promotion information and trade events are communicated to the
small business community. The Office also works with agencies of the
TPCC in coordinating and facilitating trade between the U.S. small
business community and businesses and governments of other countries.
For further information, contact the Office of International Trade.
Phone, 202-205-6720.
Small Business Development Centers Small Business Development Centers
provide counseling and training to existing and prospective small
business owners. The Centers operate in every State, at approximately
1,000 locations around the country, including Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Guam. Each Center is a partner with the State
government in economic development activities to support and assist
small businesses. The Office of Small Business Development Centers
develops national policies and goals in accordance with the Small
Business Act of 1958, as amended. It establishes standards for the
selection and performance of Centers; monitors compliance with
applicable Office of Management and Budget circulars and laws; and
implements new approaches to improve operations of existing centers.
The Office is responsible for coordinating program efforts with
other internal activities of the Administration, as well as with the
activities of other Federal agencies, and maintains liaison with other
Federal, State, and local agencies and private organizations whose
activities relate to Small Business Development Centers. It also
assesses how the program is affected by substantive developments and
policies in other areas of the agency, in other government agencies, and
in the private sector.
For further information, contact the Office of Small Business
Development Centers. Phone, 202-205-6766.
