SEATTLE - Washingtoner -- SeaTac, WA - The City of SeaTac announces the SeaTac Small Business Capital Access Program (SBCAP).

The program is done in partnerships with Business Impact NW, the Highline College Small Business Development Center (SBDC)/StartZone, the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce, the International Rescue Committee Seattle, and Growing Contigo.
This initiative, funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), is designed to support local SeaTac businesses by expanding access to technical assistance, capital, and business resources. This is free to the SeaTac businesses.
"SeaTac's small businesses play a vital role in the local economy. That is why the City of SeaTac is prioritizing the funding of training and providing stipends to our local businesses. We are using one-time federal funds for long-term positive impacts within our business community," said SeaTac Mayor Mohamed Egal.

This program aims to reach every small business in the SeaTac community seeking to stabilize and expand its operations. This complimentary program offers entrepreneurs access to professional assessments, loan readiness assistance, and personalized coaching to foster the growth and success of their businesses.

"The City of SeaTac is proud to use Federal ARPA funds to support local small SeaTac businesses. Access to business capital is a very important and ongoing need for businesses. SeaTac, in particular, has a number of businesses that have not always had access to business capital. This program supports businesses both now and in the long run and ensures that all businesses in SeaTac have a chance to thrive," said James Lovell, Councilmember and Planning & Economic Development Committee Chair.

Henry Wong, Vice President of Programs at Business Impact NW, stated, "Understanding your business's financial health is critical for short and long-term growth planning and it is especially important for those businesses needing access to capital, now or in the future, to support that growth. We are excited about working with program partners to provide business owners with that critical planning support and for the City of SeaTac's support in providing stipends to business owners committed to taking the first steps in that process."
