In FY26, the Trump SBA approved $1.3 billion in loans for veteran-owned small businesses. We approved over 18,000 contracting certifications for veteran-owned small businesses to help them engage in federal procurement. Under the leadership of @POTUS and @VP, small businesses across America are hiring and growing - creating jobs, driving innovation, and producing the American-made goods that keep our nation strong. Veteran entrepreneurs have an important role to play in that comeback story, and the SBA is proud to support them every day.

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.

The Trump Administration understands that serving the American people means getting OUT of Washington and away from the bureaucrats, globalists, and political elites…to hear directly from the job creators and workers that make our nation strong. It’s an honor to travel the country meeting with hardworking small business owners across America!

In close collaboration with @WHFraudTF, the Trump SBA has exposed $122 billion in suspected fraud within the PPP and COVID EIDL programs that were widely abused throughout the pandemic. Today, @SBAGov is calling on members of the public, federal employees, lenders, and small business owners to join us in the fight by reporting suspected fraud through the new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program. Whistleblowers may receive up to $30,000 for information leading to criminal charges relating to certain subject areas. Examples of potentially fraudulent or improper conduct include: ❗ Submitting false, fabricated, or altered financial records, payroll reports, or tax documents to secure SBA-backed commercial financing. ❗ Using SBA loan proceeds, disaster loans, or grant funds for personal enrichment. ❗ Unlawful kickbacks, fee-splitting, or misrepresentations involving the identities of loan packagers, brokers, or borrowers. ❗ Continued possession or misuse of government assistance by phantom or shell entities.

Rural America is home to many of our hardest working Americans AND our most innovative small manufacturers. Great to visit Stellar Industries in Garner, Iowa, where President Trump’s Made in America comeback means more good-paying jobs and new opportunities are coming back to the heartland.

5 small businesses. 1 million dollars on the line. Who will make the Million Dollar Pitch? Tune in TOMORROW to find out! Stream on YouTube @ 6 PM ET and Prime Video @ 8 PM ET.

For four years, the Biden Administration failed to act while pandemic fraudsters made off with millions in stolen PPP and COVID EIDL loans.   Not only did this Administration put the guardrails back up; we’re partnering with @WHFraudTF to deliver justice to the criminals who abused programs meant for small businesses.  

SBA has introduced targeted programs to deliver capital to small businesses across rural America – including the thousands of family farms that feed, clothe, and fuel our nation. It was great to visit @shattomilk to see how one local dairy has turned their SBA support into local jobs and opportunity in rural Missouri!

Not only does the Million Dollar Pitch Competition feature an incredible panel of celebrity judges in @NickiMinaj, @GrantCardone, and @jgebbia - it features the one and only @DeanCain as our host and emcee. Catch the premiere next Tuesday, October 20 at 6 PM ET on YouTube and 8 PM ET on Prime Video.

Another $50 MILLION investment in American manufacturing — and 200 great new jobs for Northwest Georgia! It was an honor to join @BillWhiteUSA and the Stow team yesterday in Calhoun, GA, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the company’s FIRST U.S. factory. The skeptics were wrong about President Trump’s FAIR TRADE agenda. By rejecting unfair trade deals and bringing global investment to our shores, we’re rebuilding American industry and creating jobs.

The Trump Administration is proud to embrace new media, and that includes content creators - who are often small business owners. Today, SBA issued clarifying guidance to specifically recognize content creators within our lending and contracting framework – as one of the many ways we are modernizing to meet the ever-evolving needs of Main Street.

I am proud to take @VP’s Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud. Under the leadership of President Trump, @SBAgov's commitment is simple: we are restoring guardrails to protect taxpayer-funded programs, clawing back what was stolen, and putting fraudsters behind bars.
