The SBA helps make the American dream of small business ownership a reality. We are the only federal agency dedicated to helping our 30 million small businesses start, grow, expand, or recover after a disaster. The SBA Tennessee District Office works with an extensive network of business advisers and lenders to help Tennessee’s 590,000 small businesses at every stage of development. Across Tennessee in the last year, we empowered the state’s small businesses to:
• Find an ally, advocate or mentor via the 22 local locations of our SBA Resource Partners, which includes SCORE, Small Business Development Centers, Women’s Business Centers, and the Veterans Business Outreach Center, all powered by the SBA.
• Gain more than $40 billion in federal contracting awards.
• Access over $313 million in SBA-guaranteed loans using 101 banks, credit unions, community-based lenders, and microlenders. The 550 businesses that qualified for SBA financing have hired thousands of new employees, bought needed equipment, and built or renovated facilities.
Every business starts with a dream. Turning this dream into a reality requires confidence, grit, knowledge, and funding. Wherever you are in growing your small business, the Tennessee District Office has your back!
