\nUnderstanding your finances is key to small business success. With small businesses across America still recovering from the impacts of the pandemic, financial literacy is more important now than ever.  <\/p>\n

\nFinancial Literacy Month was first established in 2004 to encourage Americans to learn about finance best practices and to boost their financial well-being. It can also serve as a reminder to take stock of your overall financial outlook and set finance-related\n goals \u2013 whether that\u2019s to obtain a loan, increase your revenue, or learn more about business taxes. Chances are, there\u2019s an SBA resource that can help you take the next steps toward achieving your goal.<\/p>\n

\nTo highlight three immediate resources to tap into, please consider the following:<\/p>\n

\nA local business advisor <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nSBA resource\n partners<\/a> can help you get a clearer picture of your finances.  Many small business owners work with resource partners to prepare to apply for a small business loan. Resource partners can assisting in reviewing business plans, organizing tax return documents\n and bank statements, and completing other important tasks before the loan application is sent to a lender.<\/p>\n

\nFree online classes <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nFor training on any small business topic, the SBA\u2019s Learning\n Center<\/a> and new Ascent<\/a> platform\n provide readily available expert insights. An essential course for early-stage businesses is the Financing\n Your Business<\/a> course. This course outlines various funding options, including loans, grants, venture capital, and crowdfunding, and concludes with a downloadable worksheet to help business owners assess their own financial needs. <\/p>\n

\nSBA-Guaranteed Loans and Lender Match<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nSBA-guaranteed\n loans<\/a> are often an ideal funding option for small business owners who are creditworthy, but don\u2019t qualify for conventional financing. SBA works with participating lenders to reduce their risk, increasing the likelihood your loan will be approved with the\n terms that work best for you. <\/p>\n

\nIf you decide SBA-guaranteed loans are a good fit for your business, SBA makes it easy for you to connect with lenders via our Lender Match tool. Lender\n Match<\/a> is SBA\u2019s free online referral program that connects small businesses with more than 800 participating SBA-approved lenders.  <\/p>\n

\nTo get started, just answer a few questions about your business. Then, you\u2019ll receive an email with contact information from lenders who have expressed interest in your loan. From there, you\u2019ll be able to compare rates, terms, fees, and more. Visit this\n page<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n

\nWhatever your financial goals for your business, SBA is here to help you get to your next step with personalized guidance and tested tools and resources.<\/p>\n\"Photo
