The Small Business Administration (SBA) recently launched the Investing in America Small Business Hub, a digital portal designed to support small businesses in taking advantage of opportunities under President Biden’s Investing in America (IIA) Agenda. This new resource is the first of its kind and aims to help small businesses access the resources and funding opportunities they need to grow and strengthen their businesses.
President Biden’s agenda is delivering significant investments in America’s economy, competitiveness, climate change, and manufacturing, with a focus on including small businesses that are essential to the economy. SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman stated that this new hub will serve as a valuable tool for small businesses to connect with the necessary resources and support to capitalize on these opportunities.
Since President Biden took office, there have been a record 5.5 million new business applications filed, totaling more than 17 million applications. This shows the increasing interest and activity in starting and growing small businesses across the country. SBA Regional Administrator John Fleming highlighted the importance of small businesses in various sectors, such as energy efficiency projects and infrastructure development.
The Small Business Hub offers guides and resources to help small businesses access grants, contracts, and market opportunities under the Investing in America agenda. It also provides information on SBA resources that can assist small businesses in accessing investment capital and certifications needed for funding. Furthermore, the SBA will be hosting events and webinars to directly connect with small businesses and offer guidance on accessing IIA contracting opportunities.
Small business owners should take advantage of this new resource as it provides them with valuable information about how to navigate through various government programs that are available to them. They can also connect with other entrepreneurs who have faced similar challenges before them.
Overall, President Biden’s agenda is focused on providing support for small businesses across the country by investing in various sectors such as energy efficiency projects and infrastructure development. The launch of the Investing in America Small Business Hub is a significant step towards ensuring that these investments reach their intended target audience – small business owners who are crucial to driving economic growth.
