1.1: Capital
Expand access to capital through SBA’s extensive lending network. Other Information:
An improved experience for small businesses and lending partners is essential to growth in the quantity of small businesses
assisted and the quantity of active lending partners. SBA’s increased use of technology will improve quality, and will reduce
the complexity of the lending process while making the process more efficient. We will make SBA programs simpler and easier
to use for small businesses and lending partners. This will result in an SBA that is nimble and facile enough to develop and
introduce programs as market needs are presented. We will leverage the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), SCORE, and
Women’s Business Center (WBC) networks and their relationships with the financial community to help small business owners
acquire capital. Performance Indicators: * Small Businesses Assisted. Number of new businesses assisted through 7(a), 504
