The Small Business Administration, otherwise known as SBA, is the United States government's leading agency that is responsible for offering and providing support to the country's entrepreneurs and small businesses.

The Small Business Admianistration is constantly working towards enabling the growth and development of small businesses as stipulated in their mission statement, which is "to maintain and strengthen the nation's economy by enabling the establishment and viability of small businesses and by assisting in the economic recovery of communities after disasters."
