Native Business

We support the economic development of American Indian and Alaska Native communities by offering access to capital through grant opportunities and loan guarantees, and by providing technical assistance to tribes.

To maximize the economic benefits for tribes and tribal members, we work in partnership with other federal agencies like the Economic Development Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency and Small Business Administration.
