SBA Platform Lets Small Businesses

Tell Their Stories

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Your company or enterprise could be featured as one of Connecticut’s first small business stories on a new website sponsored by the Small Business Administration. As of August 31, there were no Connecticut stories included in this new online program.

Since everyone has a story, the SBA is giving entrepreneurs a new online platform to share their stories and showcase their successful and thriving businesses.

SBA launched “Small Business Owners Speak,” August 27 as an interactive platform featuring videos by entrepreneurs from across the country who have started or grown a business with the help of the SBA.  The videos are featured at www.sba.gov/stories.

“I have the great privilege of meeting small business owners from across the country as I travel every week. But now, thanks to ‘Small Business Owners Speak,’ you can hear their stories, too,” said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. “This page will highlight the voices of successful small business owners who have started or grown a business thanks to help from the Small Business Administration.”

The page features videos submitted during SBA’s 2012 National Small Business Week video contest.  But to help reach out to more small business owners, SBA has opened “Small Business Owners Speak” to other entrepreneurs interested in submitting a video. 

More information about the video submission process can be found on the same page.
