Manufacturing & Onshoring Hub

Welcome, small-business manufacturers.

In 2025, the Small Business Administration (SBA) announced its new Made in America Manufacturing Initiative, which aims  to restore American economic dominance and national security by empowering small manufacturers.

Our goal is to bring manufacturing back and support companies that want to have onshore operations, strengthen their supply chains, and source the components they need—all proudly made in the USA. Visit the Make Onshoring Great Again portal | U.S. Small Business Administration   to learn more.

The Made in America Manufacturing Initiative commits to a deeper collaboration and coordination of federal agency resources designed to:

Increase access to capital

Improve opportunities for public and private investments in support of manufacturing in America

Help small businesses export their products on a global scale

SBA offers various tools to help you on your journey in International Trade.

Export financing can pose some unique challenges for U.S. Banks. That is why the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) created programs to provide lenders with up to a 90% guaranty on export loans, incentivizing banks to make these loans. Find out more about the SBA’s export finance programs.

Through awards to U.S. states and territories, STEP helps small businesses overcome obstacles to exporting by providing grants to cover the costs associated with entering and expanding into international markets.

Are you looking for capital to meet your growing domestic or international needs? You can contact a regional Finance Manager for help.

U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs) support American small businesses who want to compete globally by exporting.

Is government regulation negatively impacting your business? Advocacy empowers you to make your voice heard in the regulatory process. You can find out how you can make your voice heard with SBA’s Red Tape Hotline.

Don’t just take our word for it

The best advice I can give to others is to do a little legwork and find resources like the Michigan SBDC that offer free consulting, free advice. Harry helped me organize everything and it really sped things up in front of a bank and in contract negotiations.
