SBA District Offices

SBA’s District Offices are responsible for providing businesses with the tools for enhancing and growing their businesses. SBA's District Offices also oversee the delivery of SBA's programs throughout the states such as:

• Free counseling, advice and information on starting a business through SCORE.

• Financial assistance for new or existing businesses through guaranteed loans made by area bank and non-bank lenders.

• Free consulting services through the network of Small Business Development Centers. SBDCs also conduct training events throughout the district - some require a nominal registration fee.

• Assistance to businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals through the Minority Enterprise Development Program.

• Women's Business Ownership Representatives are available to advise women business owners.
