SBA has been successfully providing small businesses with access to capital to help grow their businesses. They offer a wide variety of products aimed at meeting the needs of small businesses to increase exports, access to short-term and cyclical working capital, and specialized loans for small businesses engaged in energy conservation or pollution control. SBA loan guarantees can be used to cover loans starting from $25,000 - up to $750,000, or more.

The SBA licenses private venture-capital firms, small business investment companies and supplements their capital with U.S. government-guaranteed debentures or participating securities. SBICs make equity investments and long-term loans to small businesses.
