The 8(a) Business Development program is a federal contracting and training program authorized by Sections 7(j)(10) and 8(a) of the Small Business Act for experienced small business owners who are socially and economically disadvantaged. Businesses that participate in the program receive training and technical assistance designed to strengthen their ability to compete effectively in the American economy.

The federal government's goal is to award at least 5% of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year. To help provide a level playing field for women business owners, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract program.

SBA offers low-interest disaster loans to help homeowners, renters, and businesses of all sizes recover from declared disasters. These loans can be used for losses not covered by insurance or FEMA funding, and for business operating expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred.

In response to ongoing challenges with widespread permitting delays that have stalled recovery and rebuilding efforts in states like California, President Donald J. Trump has empowered the SBA to implement new regulations through a new executive order. These regulatory changes will enable SBA disaster borrowers to bypass certain state and local permitting requirements if the borrower has been unable to obtain requisite approvals after an extended period of time.

Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) are privately owned companies that are licensed and regulated by the SBA. SBICs invest in small businesses in the form of debt and equity. The SBA doesn’t invest directly into small businesses, but it does provide funding to qualified SBICs, who then use their private funds, along with SBA-guaranteed funding, to invest in small businesses.

Homeowners may apply for up to $500,000 to replace or repair their primary residence. Renters and homeowners may borrow up to $100,000 to replace or repair personal property damaged or destroyed in a disaster. These loans cover disaster losses not fully covered by insurance or other sources.

Small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, and most private nonprofit organizations located in a declared disaster area and which have suffered substantial economic injury may be eligible for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). EIDL provides the necessary working capital to help small businesses impacted by a disaster survive until normal operations resume.

SBA provides loans to help eligible small businesses with operating expenses if they have an essential employee who is a military reservist called to active duty. The maximum Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loan (MREIDL) amount is $2 million, but SBA has authority to waive the $2 million statutory limit if the business is a major source of employment.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) guarantees bid, performance, and payment surety bonds issued by certain surety companies. SBA guarantees surety bonds for qualified small businesses, helping them win contracts by providing a guarantee that the work will be completed.

SBA provides grants to help empower small manufacturers. The goal of the Empower To Grow (E2G) Manufacturing in America Grant is to provide workforce development in key manufacturing industries, such as timber, energy, aluminum, steel, digital, and automotive.

The STEP grant program has helped thousands of small businesses obtain grants and find customers in the international marketplace since 2011.
