The Office of Advocacy supports businesses with fewer than 500 employees, non-profit organizations, and independent contractors. Our mission is to help small entities as regulations are developed in Washington.

We are a voice for small businesses in the executive branch. We do not take part in SBA’s work on loans, disaster relief, or procurement.
