About ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM INCORPORATED

The Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Program (API SBP) is a Los Angeles–based nonprofit consortium and SBA-funded Women’s Business Center that provides bilingual business counseling, Entrepreneur Training Programs, workshops, and access-to-capital support primarily for Asian and Pacific Islander immigrant small-business owners. The organization operates as a collaborative of long-established community partners serving Koreatown, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Thai Town and Filipino communities across Los Angeles County.

The EIN 20-0726638 for Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Program Incorporated was verified against public nonprofit records and the organization’s official website; the organization has an active web presence, current programming, and has filed Form 990 information through 2024. In recent years API SBP has continued in-person and virtual counseling and training, participated in county and city small-business initiatives, and secured operating support grants from local corporate foundations and public partners.

API SBP focuses on practical, measurable assistance (one-on-one counseling, loan application support, multi-language workshops) and documents client outcomes such as successful loan closings, business licensing/compliance assistance, business expansions, and legacy-business recognitions for long-standing community establishments.
