Module 8a: Your Resource Network Worksheets - SBA

There are literally thousands of business assistance programs paid for with your tax dollars, available in every state. The Knowledge Institute's Business Utility Zone Gateway (Buzgate) is a small business resource community listing thousands of free and low cost public programs available to help small businesses to get started and grow. These public assistance agencies exist to help you with various aspects of your business objectives. You will find an alphabetical listing organized by town of the organizations and people that are available to help you develop an appropriate action strategy. To find the agencies in your area, click on this link.

US Small Business Administration

The US Small Business Administration (SBA) offers financing, training, and advocacy for small firms. The SBA has offices in every state, including the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. In addition, the SBA works with thousands of lending, educational and training institutions nationwide. If your business is independently owned and operated, not dominant within its field, and falls within size standards, the SBA can be a useful resource.

Each state has a US Small Business Administration (SBA) office and a Small Business Development Center (SBDC) network, cosponsored with the SBA and state-based college or university systems. These SBDCs employ professional counselors who provide guidance to small businesses at no charge. SCORE is another SBA-affiliated counseling network where retired business executives volunteer their time to assist smaller companies at no cost. Contact information for your local offices is listed in BUZGate.

Instructions: Call, then visit each of these organizations and build your network.
