Your Views: SBA programs help small businesses

I was happy to see that Congress increased funding to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s entrepreneurial development programs by more than $21 million in its 2020 government spending plan: “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020,” H.R. 1158.

Taking the leap into entrepreneurship can be scary, but when we have the resources and support we need, it can soften the landing. Most of us didn’t go to business school and have no formal training in how to run a business, so we rely on free and low-cost resources like the ones provided through the SBA.
