For decades, globalist politicians hollowed out America's industrial base with bad trade deals. Under @POTUS & @VP, we have reversed the decline - once again becoming a nation of builders. Today at SBA’s National Veterans Small Business Week event, @VP recognized that small businesses comprise 70% of the defense industrial base – including over 40,000 veteran-owned manufacturers. #NVSBW26#

iCap, SBA’s new commercial-grade loan origination platform, offers the modern banking tools that will empower SBA lenders, especially community and rural banks, to deliver more capital to small businesses. Less bureaucracy, more intuitive tech, and stronger fraud controls mean our lenders can deliver MORE SBA-guaranteed financing – more efficiently than ever before.

Today, SBA is launching iCAP: a new commercial-grade loan origination platform that will empower banks to deliver more SBA loans to small businesses…faster, with less bureaucracy, and stronger fraud controls.   Small businesses across America are seeking capital to hire and expand. iCAP will help our lenders meet the moment with new technology to surge financing where it’s needed most, from manufacturing to energy to agriculture.

With the Working Families Tax Cuts, @POTUS passed the largest tax cut in U.S. history  – preventing a $4 TRILLION tax hike that would have crushed Main Street.

Previous administrations buried small businesses under a mountain of red tape - leading to a rise in costs for both job creators and consumers. To date, this Administration has cut over 100 regulations for every new one added – freeing Main Street to continue hiring, growing, and investing.

President Trump’s America First agenda has ended decades of bad trade deals that crushed American industries and sent American jobs overseas. Under this Administration, MADE IN AMERICA is back.

Congressional leaders like @RepMikeCarey are helping the Trump Admin usher in a new golden age for Main Street by backing @POTUS’s America First agenda - including the highly successful Working Families Tax Cuts that prevented a $4 trillion tax hike and introduced new growth incentives like ‘no tax on overtime’ and 100% expensing for factory expansion!

Because of President Trump: ✅ Main Streets are safer. ✅ Workers are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks. ✅ Small businesses are growing and hiring. ✅ Fraudsters are facing real jail time. Promises Made, Promises Kept!

Today’s PMI data proves once again: @POTUS’s fair trade agenda is reshoring American manufacturing, jobs, and productive capacity.   With the strong support of Congressional leaders like @RogerMarshallMD, this Administration is bringing back the proud tradition of Made in America – along with the industrial communities that other Admins left behind.

NEW: For the second fiscal year in a row, the Trump SBA has delivered $100 billion in funding to small businesses across the country, even despite a federal shutdown, as Main Street sought historic capital to hire, expand, and invest thanks to the America First economic agenda. The numbers tell a clear story. With Working Families Tax Cuts, fair trade, and historic deregulation, there has never been a better time to start or grow a small business. It’s why new business formations have exceeded 500,000 nearly every month of 2026. It’s why industries like manufacturing continue to see unprecedented expansion, and why small business optimism continues to climb. The Trump SBA is proud to meet the moment by delivering the government-guaranteed loans, investment capital, disaster support, and entrepreneurial development programs that Main Street needs to carry out the comeback.

Despite the LONGEST SHUTDOWN in American history, the Trump SBA delivered its SECOND consecutive fiscal year of $100 billion in capital for Main Street. Thanks to @POTUS and the America First economic agenda, small businesses are seeking funding to hire workers, expand operations, and invest for the future. The SBA is proud to support their growth by surging capital to the Main Street entrepreneurs who create jobs, strengthen communities, and power our most critical industries...from defense to energy to agriculture!

This year, SBA hosted Supplier Matchmaking Expos across the country to help connect large producers with small domestic suppliers, with the goal of shifting supply chains back to the U.S. Read about how RJ’s Printing leveraged the opportunity to secure a new contract for Made in America signage!

Fraudsters beware. Jail Time. Restitution. Suspension from Government Programs. These are among the fates of those who were caught stealing from the American taxpayers. No amount of fraud is too small to be investigated by the Trump Administration. Happy Halloween!

NEW: SBA has announced its intent to award funding for new Veterans Business Outreach Center in Idaho, which will provide dedicated entrepreneurial training, business counseling, and other resources to service members, veterans, and military spouses across the state.

.@POTUS recognizes that America’s small businesses are the backbone of our economy, which is why he delivered The Working Family Tax Cuts—direct tax relief that puts more money into the pockets and businesses of hard-working Americans.
