The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal agency that supports individuals in starting, growing, and sustaining small businesses. In alignment with the SBA’s Office of Entrepreneurial Development, The Catholic Action Network (TCAN) is committed to empowering aspiring entrepreneurs by connecting them with trusted public and community-based resources that expand opportunity, strengthen businesses, and promote long-term economic mobility. 

The SBA helps individuals—just like you—start and grow a business through free or low-cost research assistance, training programs and workshops, one-on-one mentoring, and access to business financing, among other resources. This support may include help with market and competitor analysis, writing a business plan, registering your business, and identifying grant opportunities or SBA-approved lenders.
