SBA

Today, the SBA announced a new policy that will ban foreign nationals and all noncitizens from accessing SBA-backed small business loans. Read the full release here: sba.gov/article/2026/0…

No one has done more to unleash U.S. energy dominance than President Trump, which is why we saw gas prices fall to their lowest level in four years. He will continue to use every lever to keep costs low for consumers and small businesses alike.

Recover. Rebuild. If you've been affected by a declared disaster, the SBA is here to help you get back on your feet. Low-interest disaster loans are available for: ✅ Business owners and private nonprofits ✅ Faith-based organizations ✅ Homeowners and renters Apply now: sba.gov/disaster

Last week, Associate Administrators Lisa Shimkat and Paul Fitzpatrick joined Regional Administrator Tyler Teresa in North Carolina to visit several small businesses while in town for our Supplier Matchmaking Expo. 📍Western Piedmont Community College & Cleveland Community College 📍Local Patriot Roasting Company 📍Cabarrus Cycle Co. 📍Old Armor Beer Company 📍Ketchie Inc. 📍Carolina Sporting Arms

Grateful to attend the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast this morning, especially today on the feast of Feast of Saint Joseph. St. Joseph reminds us that prayer, humility, and faithful action speak louder than words. May we follow his example in serving others with courage and trust in God.

“After years of mission creep characterized by bureaucratic expansion and a politicized agenda,  @SBA_Kelly fundamentally realigned @SBAGov to serve its local lenders, job creators, and taxpayers. “To date, 97% of SBA Office of Field Operations employees are located outside of Washington, DC, serving our entrepreneurs through our regional and district offices across this great country.” - Associate Administrator Lisa Shimkat

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Here’s how the Trump SBA is safeguarding taxpayers’ Pot o’ Gold: 🍀No SBA loans for foreign nationals 🍀Strong underwriting standards 🍀Birth date and citizenship verification across all loan programs

The tax and investment incentives in H.R. 1 amount to the most significant economic transformation in the history of our industry. @ShopFloorNAM was proud to partner with @SBA_Kelly and @NASAAdmin for the inaugural Supplier Matchmaking Expo as we look to build on the promise of pro-manufacturing tax reforms. #ManufacturingWins

American manufacturing is hot. 🔥 Connect with U.S. manufacturers, producers, and suppliers: sba.gov/onshoring

Last week’s Supplier Matchmaking Expo helped connect over 900 small business suppliers with dozens of multinational companies looking to reshore production here at home. Small businesses are powering our war fighters, our spaceships, and the next generation of U.S. industrial dominance!

.@SBADeputy_Bill made a stop in Nassau County to visit Main Street restaurants, manufacturers, and lumber supply companies. In NY and across America, @POTUS’s Working Family Tax Cuts are benefiting entrepreneurs in every industry. libn.com/2026/03/10/sba…

The Biden Administration used SBA as a vehicle to support favored interest groups at the expense of honest, eligible job creators. Whether it meant discrimination against white males, faith-based nonprofits, or veterans – it’s no longer tolerated under the leadership of @SBA_Kelly.

If you're looking for a boost to grow your small business, an SBA microloan can help! Whether you need a few thousand or up to $50,000, microloans are designed to bridge the gap. With an average loan amount of around $13,000, it’s the perfect fit for specialized equipment, inventory, or working capital. See if a microloan is right for you: sba.gov/microloans

Grateful to end a busy week surrounded by hardworking patriots in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. @POTUS, @VP, and this Cabinet aren’t fighting for fraudsters, illegal aliens, Green New Deal radicals, or big government bureaucrats. We are fighting for the families, workers, job creators, and veterans who make our nation great!

Great to end a big week on the road, back in North Carolina with our amazing @VP. From coast to coast, this Admin is cutting taxes, creating jobs, and growing paychecks. I see it every day: the Main Street comeback is on!

.@SBA_Kelly in Rocky Mount, NC: What the Working Families tax cuts means is No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime. It’s thousands of dollars back in your pocket this year and for years to come. It’s expanded child tax credits, expanded Health Savings Accounts, thousand-dollar Trump Accounts for children. It’s the 20% pass-through deduction for small businesses. This is the most Main Street bill in American history. But yet, every single Democrat in Congress voted against it.

If you run a construction, service, supply, or manufacturing business, you may need a surety bond to guarantee completed work. SBA-guaranteed surety bonds can help you compete for and win bigger contracts! Find surety bond agencies in your state: sba.gov/osg

.@RepBresnahan and I stopped in for lunch today at American Grill in Exeter, PA - and we came away with another Working Family Tax Cut success story. Shaun, the small business owner, had one message for President Trump: thank you!

President Trump's tax cut & tariff agenda is creating REAL jobs and MAJOR growth for businesses of all sizes. His production boom benefits our workers, our national security, and communities across the country.

‼️ @POTUS delivered record U.S. exports and yet you won’t see it reported in the mainstream media. I just spent the day in PA with hardworking small businesses who are rebuilding our industrial capacity after Biden and his tax-and-regulate cronies tried to shut it down. Thanks to President Trump and Congressional Republicans, we have tax cuts, record energy production, fair trade & deregulation. Manufacturing is returning and the data shows it - yet the liberal media can barely acknowledge it because it proves that the economy is strengthening after four disastrous years.
