Greetings . . .

I'm Jim Stai, District Director for the North Dakota District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration. I would like to personally welcome you to the SBA's web site for North Dakota.

My career with SBA started in 1979 as a Business Development Specialist and I have served as the District Director since 1986. The North Dakota office has witnessed a number of changes over the years, but our philosophy for "Making It Happen" continues. Through our loan programs and counseling resources, we want to help make your small business dreams become reality.

We are excited about the opportunity to serve the people of North Dakota and hope you find your visit to our web site useful. If you have any questions or recommendations of how we can serve you better, please feel free to contact our office.

Best of luck with your business venture!

Sincerely,
Jim Stai
