This section of the website is devoted to SBA’s most important customer, the entrepreneur. Whether your business is in the early stages of development or already thriving and seeking growth capital, we want to help you determine if SBIC financing is right for your company – and if so, who in the SBIC community might be willing to consider an investment. Remember, the SBIC Program does not invest directly in small businesses. Instead, SBA puts its confidence in premier investment management funds to evaluate and invest in promising small companies.

The SBIC Program: Seeking SBIC Financing for your Small Business summarizes the SBIC Program, what types of businesses are best suited for SBIC financing and how to seek capital from one of the many SBICs operating nationwide. We encourage you to read the document carefully and keep in mind that SBIC financing is not appropriate for all types of businesses and financing needs. The SBIC Program is one of a variety of financial assistance programs offered through the U.S. Small Business Administration. To learn more about other financing programs available through the U.S. Small Business Administration, refer to the website at www.sba.gov or
