Finding an SBA Office and SBA Lenders Near You

The SBDC Program is a cooperative effort pulling together the resources of the private sector, the academic community, and federal, state, and local governments.

There are now 63 Lead SBDCs, with at least one in every state, and including offices in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Each of the Centers tailors its assistance to the local communication and the needs of individual clients while working in cooperation with the local SBA district offices.

Together with an SBA Certified Development Company, the SBDCs can help you prepare your SBA loan application or assist you with any other questions about the SBA. Anyone who is interested in starting a small business or in expanding an already existing business is eligible to use the services of an SBDC.

The SBA Web Site (www.sba.gov) lists all types of lenders for the various SBA Business Loan Programs.
