The SBA provides capital and advice so entrepreneurs can grow their businesses. Guzmán explains that “we provide guidance for contracting and trading with the different government agencies. We also have many other programs for small businesses to take advantage of opportunities in local or national markets. We are able to accomplish our mission through an incredible network of lenders and community partners.”

Successful navigator program

“We invite you to contact our local offices. At the same time you will be welcomed at our Small Business Development Center; at our Women’s Business Center, at our Veterans Centers. It should highlight the work of the organizations that work as community navigators so that any entrepreneur can obtain the necessary assistance to start or advance their different ventures,” Guzmán concluded.
