The SBA launched www.sba.gov/healthcare, a new health care web page that will help individuals and small business owners understand what the Affordable Care Act means for them. The new tools will serve as a gateway for small business owners connecting them with information provided by SBA’s federal partners responsible for implementing the law, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

With the new year comes a new look for Virginia SBDC: new logo, new website, new programs, and new videos about ourselves and our success stories. Yet we still offer the same quality of service you can rely on to help you plan, act, and succeed with your small business.
