The mission of the Small Business Administration (SBA), Georgia District, is to provide leadership for the economic growth of Georgia communities through the development and support of small business.

What does this mean to Augusta and to your business? This means financial assistance and success for your small business. The SBA is dedicated to providing you with a loan that is appropriate for your business interests.

Business loans are available to those independently owned and operated businesses not dominant in their fields. The proceeds can be used for expansion, modernization of facilities, augmentation of working capital, seasonal line of credit, new construction, building or equipment purchases, and refinancing of existing debt or payment of eligible business debts.

The SBA has a Pre-Qualification Loan Program that uses local private-sector nonprofit and for-profit agencies in order to simplify and increase small business opportunities for financial assistance.

The following are just a few of the loans that the SBA has available for your business. I am sure that you will be able to match your small business' needs with a financing program.
