Every few years or so, SBA releases a strategy document for the current and upcoming years.  The three strategic goals outlined for the fiscal years 2011 – 2016 period are not significantly different from those of recent SBA planning cycles.  SBA’s core objectives of effectively supporting our nation's current and future small business owners and providing assistance to victims of disaster remain unchanged. However, the means for achieving our goals reflect the lessons learned through experiences in serving our customers across the nation and from listening to, and working with, our employees at all organizational levels. SBA's three strategic goals for FY 2011-2016 are:

1. Growing businesses and creating jobs.

2. Building an SBA that meets the needs of today's and tomorrow's small businesses.

3. Serving as the voice for small business.
