 Strengthen your Cybersecurity!
Cyberattacks are a concern for small businesses. Start by learning about cybersecurity best practices and understanding common threats and how to protect your data.
 Grow Your Business Global
Nearly 96% of consumers live outside the U.S., and two-thirds of the world’s purchasing power is in foreign countries. SBA can help with your trade needs to increase your profits, reduce market dependence, and stabilize seasonal sales. Connect with SBA resources and partners to get help exporting.
 Contract with Uncle Sam
Did you know the U.S. government uses special programs to help small businesses win at least at 23 percent of all federal contracting dollars each year. When you’re looking for ways to grow your clientele consider taking on the federal government as a client.
