Synopsis

This step-by-step guide shows how the Small Business Administration (SBA) of America can help to start or maintain a small business. In 1987 the SBA made 17,110 loans totalling $3 billion, most of which were made by banks with SBA guarantees against default. It explains how business owners without a financial or legal background can take full advantage of the SBA, including clear, straightforward instructions on preparing the SBA loan application package. The author discusses the multitude of services the SBA can provide free of charge, such as technical and management assistance, procurement assistance, business classes, and publications, and provides easy-to-follow examples and sample forms.
