Petition is addressed to: DOGE
Small & Medium Size Business Entrepreneurship in the US is under attack.
With the new DOGE announcement of their infiltration of the Small Business Administration office, they are misrepresenting the success of the SBA Loan program and in particular the SBA 7(a) Loan Program.
The SBA 7(a) is one of the most incredible, unique and successful tools as it relates to supporting entrepreneurship in the acquisition and transition of Main Street businesses from one generation of entrepreneurs to another. If the 7(a) program is discontinued, it will negatively impact an entire generation of hard working Small Business owners, and curtail the future of entrepreneurship in the US.
If we do not band together and support the SBA and in particular the 7(a) program - telling Elon Musk and DOGE that they are intentionally wrong in their assessment and desire to systematically dismantle the program - Main Streets will continue to be decimated, jobs will be lost and entrepreurial dreams will be crushed.
Reason
The US was founded by entrepreneurs - let's keep their dreams alive.
This petition is supported by Search Fund Coalition and supporting partners involved in the Search Fund / ETA - Small Business Acquisition Space. Collectively we want our voices to be heard.
Please sign our petition and share your stories of how SBA 7a loan has been a life changing mechanism you and other entrepeneurs you have worked with.
