Small businesses are the heart of Idaho’s communities, and it’s always a privilege to connect directly with the entrepreneurs who make our local economies thrive. District Director Shannon Madsen recently had the opportunity to provide an in-depth presentation at the Middleton Chamber of Commerce highlighting the many programs and resources the U.S. Small Business Administration offers to support entrepreneurs and small business owners—from access to capital and government contracting opportunities to counseling and technical assistance. We love getting out into communities across Idaho, meeting the people behind our local businesses, and sharing tools that can help them start, grow, and succeed. Thank you to everyone who joined the discussion and continues to invest in the strength of Idaho’s small business community. We’re proud to support you! #SmallBusiness #SBA #IdahoBusiness #Entrepreneurship #MiddletonID Theresa Denham

The Buy Idaho Capitol Show is always an incredible opportunity to connect with Idaho’s vibrant small business community. The SBA Boise District Office was proud to participate in this year’s event at the historic Idaho Capitol, where Tobin Dixon and Irene Gonzalez represented the district with a booth to share SBA programs and resources with entrepreneurs and community stakeholders. Events like this provide a meaningful platform for small businesses to showcase their products, share their stories, and build valuable relationships. For the SBA, it’s also an opportunity to connect directly with the entrepreneurs and partners we serve while strengthening community relationships and supporting Idaho’s small business ecosystem. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about how the SBA supports small businesses across Idaho! #SmallBusiness #SBA #BuyIdaho #Entrepreneurship #IdahoBusiness Buy Idaho, Inc Idaho Small Business Development Center Frontier Community Resources (Region IV Development) Michael Lyons Marie Baker Debbie Winkler
Investing in the Next Generation of Idaho Entrepreneurs! The future of Idaho business is looking bright! On February 10th, our very own Business Opportunity Specialist, Irene Gonzalez, had the privilege of judging the Principles of Entrepreneurship category at the DECA State Competition. DECA is instrumental in preparing high school and college students to become the next leaders in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. With over 350 students competing across 50+ categories, the energy and innovation in the room were truly inspiring. At the SBA, we believe that supporting "emerging leaders" isn't just a goal—it’s a necessity for a thriving economy. Irene’s involvement helped provide these students with professional feedback and a direct connection to the resources the SBA offers to help turn their business dreams into reality. Congratulations to all the competitors! We can't wait to see the companies you'll build. #SBA #IdahoSmallBusiness #DECA #Entrepreneurship #FutureLeaders #BoiseBusiness #CommunityOutreach Tia Davis, M.Ed.
Building a Stronger Foundation for Idaho Entrepreneurs 🤝 In the Boise District, we believe that when local lenders are empowered with the right resources, our entire community thrives. Providing access to capital is about more than a transaction—it’s about strengthening the ecosystem that turns a business vision into a reality. We recently partnered with Frontier Community Resources (Region IV Development) to host a specialized Lender Resource Training for the team at D.L. Evans Bank. Deputy Director Tobin Dixon shared the latest SBA tools and development strategies, ensuring that our local lenders are equipped to guide Idaho’s small business owners through every stage of their growth. Success in our district is driven by the "power of the network." This training was a perfect example of how our partners collaborate to provide a 360-degree support system: Frontier Community Resources (Region IV Development): Leading the way in specialized lending expertise. Idaho Manufacturing Alliance: Ensuring our local makers have the industry-specific support they need. Idaho Small Business Development Center: Providing the technical "know-how" to help businesses scale. Business Impact NW (WBC): Championing growth and diverse resources for all. A huge thank you to everyone involved for their commitment to our Idaho businesses! #SBA #IdahoBusiness #CapitalAccess Marie Baker Paige Wiscombe Michael Lyons Michele Marshall Thea Jordan Tobin Dixon Kelly Sellman Gina Robison, M.Ed.
