SBA Announces Commitments to Build Stronger North Dakota Tribal Businesses and Economies

Maria Contreras-Sweet, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), reaffirmed the SBA’s continued commitment to support Native American small businesses and entrepreneurs with additional resources to boost the entrepreneurial spirit of tribal nations in North Dakota alongside U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp.

"Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool North Dakotans and all Americans can harness in order to change the arc of their life. I am committed to making SBA resources more accessible, to empower small business owners across all communities, particularly tribal nations. Last year, the SBA supported more than $100 million in lending to Native American-owned small businesses. To continue the incredible contributions by tribal nations, we’re expanding the entrepreneurship potential by empowering tribal youth and investing in robust counseling and training, allowing more people to create their own success," said Contreras-Sweet.
