Right here in SBA Great Lakes Region and SBA Columbus District Office area is army veteran and small business owner Ericka Adams who used SBA and resources to help her dental business! #womanowned #BlackOwned #smallbusiness #Ohio #GreatLakessmallbiz #veteran
Army veteran Ericka Adams is making a difference! She opened Adams Dental Assisting Academy in Gahanna, Ohio after more than 30 years in the dental field. By equipping the academy with new technology, Ericka provides students a realistic and immersive learning environment. Ericka recognized the financial gaps in the community, lowered tuition, and partnered with The Ohio Department of Education to participate in the Second Chance Grant Program. The program covers a portion of tuition costs for students who started training elsewhere but did not finish. To grow the business, Ericka used counseling and capital resources available at SBA microlender ECDI - Economic and Community Development Institute. She gives back, volunteering at a local retirement community and supporting charities. Ericka is the Ohio Small Business Person of the Year!

#MINNESOTA -- The Biden-Harris Administration has kept its commitment to small businesses by improving access to capital and Administrator Guzman’s continued leadership of U.S. Small Business Administration through a historic period of economic growth. SBA Deputy Administrator Dilawar Syed met with Saleem Karmaliani owner of Primrose Schools and childcare in Edina, MN and toured the facility. They discussed how President Biden’s *Investing in America Economic Agenda* supports small childcare businesses and diverse working families in Minnesota, especially and how childcare owners can receive no-cost business development assistance from both SBA Women’s Business Centers in Minnesota, given the SBA Womens’ Business Centers’ program additional emphasis to help strengthen childcare business operations. 👉 In recognition of the vibrancy of the small business ecosystem driving our American economy, Deputy Administrator Dilawar Syed's visit at Primrose also included meeting Rob Appelhof Rob Appelhof onsite, owner of Cedar Creek Energy small business. Cedar Creek Energy supplied and installed Primrose solar panels at Primrose. Of note, both Cedar Creek and Primrose benefitted from SBA support and financing to support a green and energy secure economy. Deputy Administrator Syed also met with non-profit CDC lender for Primrose’s SBA loan Amplio Executive Director Jonathan Sage-Martinson. Under the Biden-Harris Administration, small businesses are buying, making, and selling their products in America – products and providing critical services that we not only love and enjoy, but that we also depend on in our daily lives. With SBA Great Lakes Regional Administrator Geri Sanchez Aglipay, SBA Minnesota District Office District Director Brian McDonald and Deputy District Director Chris Wicker, MBA.
