For decades Texas SBA® has distributed resources to the small business community during times of emergency, financial need, and economic prosperity. Often times, many people forget that we offer membership and rely upon our internal treasury to continue servicing the public good.

COVID-19 Lockdowns were an attack on small business and personal liberty marketed by mainstream and social media hysteria with government authoritarianism enforcement and domestic terrorism. Texas SBA® is a multi-national trade group representing the Texas business community in 80 countries across 7 continents: Texas SBA® has decades of experience conducting business in 3rd World nations engulfed by political coups, terrorism, economic sanctions, and other situations unfamiliar to the "American Way of Life." Unfortunately, Texas SBA® forecasts a severe economic downturn hitting "Main Street" until 2022 regardless of Wall Street's stock performance generated by 6,200 multi-national corporations. We also anticipate more domestic terrorism with the possibility of civil war caused by government over-reach (ie. COVID-19 Sanctions) or a political coup. Texas Small Business Association® Membership provides your business strength in numbers and guidance on navigating the current economic environment we experiencing in the United States!
