73 years ago today, on July 30, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Small Business Act, establishing the U.S. Small Business Administration. Since then, SBA has served as the federal government’s largest guarantor of business loans. Our role is to provide capital, contracting, counseling, and disaster assistance to help entrepreneurs live the American Dream, create jobs, and drive economic growth. Today, America’s 36 million small businesses create two out of every three new jobs, contribute nearly half of U.S. GDP, and represent 99% of all private businesses. The Trump Administration understands that small business is BIG business for America – which is why the entire America First economic agenda is designed to reward our nation’s job creators and workers – through tax cuts, deregulation, and fair trade. Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SBA_Kelly, the Main Street comeback is underway – and the SBA is working hard every day to deliver on behalf of America’s builders, doers, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

The Trump SBA is creating new ways for small businesses to fund their expansion and help create more jobs for their communities. Recently, @SBA_Kelly announced that borrowers can now combine their 7(a) and 504 loans for up to $10 million in SBA-backed financing. inquirer.com/business/small…

The Working Families Tax Cuts are providing direct tax relief to America’s workers and families. And +127 million taxpayers in total benefited from the permanently doubled standard deduction.

FRAUD UPDATE: This week, DOJ announced a $3.85 million settlement involving four labor unions that illegally obtained PPP loans during the pandemic. Another win in the fight to hold bad actors accountable for defrauding the American public! justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/3…

Talking all the great @SBAgov lending program enhancements today at a lender Roundtable hosted by @sba_arizona, @azbankers, and @AZChamber. Thank you to @nbarizona for hosting us!

President Trump’s fair trade agenda and targeted tax cuts for manufacturers are making America a nation of builders again. That’s great news for small businesses – who make up 98% of our manufacturing supply chains!

"It's easier to prevent these issues than it is to try and fix the policies of the Biden administration." WATCH: @RepTonyWied and Mr. Fitzpatrick discussed how the @SBAgov’s OED is CLEANING up the mess left behind by the last administration.

2026 was the biggest tax refund season in American history! Families saved $82 billion, over 36 million workers claimed no tax on tips and overtime, and small businesses across the country enjoyed the now permanent 20% small business tax deduction.

American Workers are BUILDING AGAIN and they’re doing it with MORE OPPORTUNITY and MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS thanks to @POTUS’ Working Families Tax Cuts. 📈

The Golden Age of Made in America is here thanks to President Trump!   In the last year, the Working Families Tax Cuts have: - Protected 6 million American jobs - Preserved $1 trillion in economic output - Safeguarded $540 billion in wages   whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/…
