WASHINGTON – Today, Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman, head of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the voice in President Biden’s Cabinet for America’s more than 33 million small businesses, announced the launch of the SBA’s new Investing in America Small Business Hub. This hub is described as the first and only digital portal of its kind providing industry-specific resources to help small businesses tap into opportunities under President Biden’s signature Investing in America (IIA) Agenda.
Speaking about President Biden's economic agenda, Administrator Guzman emphasized, "President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is delivering generational investments to grow America’s economy, restore competitiveness, tackle climate change, and reshore manufacturing – all while including America’s small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy." She further added, "The SBA’s new Investing in America Small Business Hub will help more small businesses connect to the resources, funding opportunities, and support they need to capitalize on these opportunities and strengthen their businesses."
Highlighting the impact of the Investing in America agenda, Administrator Guzman pointed out, "The Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America economic agenda has fueled a historic nationwide Small Business Boom, with the first, second, and third strongest years of new business applications on record occurring in President Biden’s first three years in office."
The Investing in America Small Business Hub aims to assist small businesses in accessing grants, contracts, and market opportunities created by the IIA agenda. It also provides resources for small businesses to access investment capital and certifications necessary to qualify for IIA funding. Additionally, the SBA will collaborate with other federal agencies to host events and webinars, offering guidance on accessing IIA contracting opportunities and incentives such as home energy rebates and tax credits.
Small businesses are encouraged to utilize the full suite of SBA resources in pursuing Investing in America opportunities. The SBA, as the go-to resource for small businesses, aims to empower entrepreneurs and business owners with the necessary support to start, grow, or expand their businesses.
