The SBA – A Public Program That Actually Returns Money to the Treasury

Small Business Development Centers provide free advice

Most of the time that you read about the U.S. Small Business Administration http://www.sba.gov/localresources/district/mt/index.html in the news, the topic is small business lending or perhaps the federal budget.

You may even have wondered why there’s so much fuss about the SBA. If you’re not in the market for a loan, you may wonder what good is it?

Earlier this year, the National Association for the Self-Employed http://www.nase.org/Survey/past_survey_results.asp?SurveyID=38 found in a member survey that less than 20% of microbusiness owners had ever made use of any of the SBA’s other programs. Why not? Well, about half of them (49%) said they didn’t know about them.
